We could get the current backup size as a starting point and then add a blank cms install size on top of that. (content + structure) Of course, we won’t really know till at least a staging version is up and running and content has been ported over.

As with any site, images take the most room. I suspect though these will be limited to screen shots so I wouldn’t anticipate the requirement being high.

For a ballpark idea, I have backups for an e-commerce and blog site that has about 100 blog posts of 250+ words each and about 500 product images of fair quality (usually 800-1000px longest side and stored as 75% quality JPGs) and that db takes up 500K and the site with images takes up 2GB. Both backup files are tar.gz.
