Restore folder size info needed

[Bharani_B]

Hello Experts,

Is there any way I can find the size of a folder and sub-folder of a backup. I mean while we are restoring critical data, client sometimes curious to know how much is the Data to be restored and how much has resoted so far.

But I never find this ready info from BAR GUI. Is there any way to check this atleast from CLI?

Thanks,

Bharani

hi ,

unfortuatly there is no direct way...

you need to use the bplist command to list out the files from backup image and calucate the size for the files that are in restore.

i have submitted an idea about this few years ago.. you can support the idea if you wish too
