View Folder Size before restore?

Is there a way in BE2014 to view the size of a folder prior to the restore? I was hoping I could just right click in the Resource View and look at the properties of the folder when selecting the folders/items I want to restore.

thanks.

    The size of the folder will be listed next to the name, when viewing the backup set information.

    To see the folder size, here's one way:

    1. Click on the server you wish to view backups sets of
    2. Click on the restore option on the ribbon
    3. Double-click on 'File and folder backups from a backup set'
    4. Expand a backup set
    5. Click on any backup set
    6. In the right pane, the 'Size' column will contain the size of the data within that folder

    Hi,

     

    I doubt it...haven't seen this before in any version. File size yes, but not folder.

    Thanks!

    Thanks, it was right in front of me the entire time. I was looking at the individual folders contained within the root and not the clicking above the root itself to view the folder size.
