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.

Ha! Can't tell you how many times that has happened to me!
