A way to see or predict the size of a VM guest files restore before running the job?

When restoring guest files from VMs I should be able to see how big the restore will be, right?
I should be able to see the size of the data, in order to predict how much space will be left on the destination VM after the restore..?

If I select a specific folder in the restore job and then click “List media and size”, it doesn’t show me the size of the folder I selected.
Am I looking in the wrong place? Or is this a nonexistent feature?

Thank you =)

HI @No special characters 

There is no way to know the size of folders/files with VSA Backups.

You can only check the Backup/VM Size
