If you intend to be able to continue normal operations at your
recovery site, you will need sufficient capacity to run all your
primary work, and your copies too.  This means your recovery library
will need -more- space and drives than your primary library.  Maybe
twice the amount, probably somewhat more in slots, maybe somewhat less
in drives depending on how busy your drives are in normal life.
