If you do a backup using the imaging technique then your backup image will be the same size as the device ( SD card) that you made an image of. If you want to save some storage space you can ZIP the image after it is created.
There is also another characteristic of the imaging backup technique you should probably be aware of. If you make an image of a 4GB SD card, and later restore that image to a larger SD card, the larger SD card will become a 4GB SD card too. That can be fixed with a different set of software tools, so you just need to be aware of it.
