    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
