Hi there
IMO the best size is one that is large enough to accomodate bootable version of Macrium PLUS your latest Windows recovery image (you want the "C" OS partition and the system reserved partition in the backup image).
If you have the Macrium ISO you can make a bootable USB with RUFUS. Simply create 2 partitions on the USB stick, one bootable for Macrium and the other for your Image data.
In general a 64GB stick should be more than large enough.

Hi quick reply appreciated, never used or heard of RUFUS.
Thx
I have done it both ways. I've used two separate partitions, and I have used one big partition. The one big partition has given me less problems in the past.
