No it doesn't have to be the same size. Usually after a drive fails, the current retail drives are larger and cheaper. There is an option in Ghost 10,12 to expand the recovery point onto the drive to fill the expanded space.

You could restore to a smaller hard drive if the actual space used in the partition would still fit, but this is not the normal situation.

If you have to replace a hard drive, bigger is almost always better.
