Bryan,
That would be plenty!  We're backing up 30-40 GB a night with a Debian
box and 128MB of RAM.  The CPU is more critical, especially if you
anticipate doing any server-side compression.  It will also help with
restores of compressed images.  Holding-disk space is the other area not
to skimp on.  :)

HTH,
Eric
