Backup size preview...

    I'm investigating moving away from crashplan pro to cloudberry/B2.

    I've (in linux GUI) created a backup plan for testing purposes but I can't see how
    big the backup will be? Once I start the backup I can see how big it is (eventually as it updates...)

    Is there a way to see how big my selected files will be? Since B2 is per GB price I want to play around and see how much it will cost me to backup what I want. I may want to change what I back up based on the size of the total backup.

    No, we do not calculate in advance the raw file sizes as that would require a lot of disk IO and would not reflect actual storage when you consider compression and block-level backups. We've been asked about this before and I'll add your name to the list in case the feature is implemented, but I think the easiest way to check might be to query the files from Linux.
