Hello, thank you for an excellent product.

Is there any way to inspect file-sizes of the contents of a backup? The total size of my backup has recently jumped from 90MB to 150MB and I am curious about what files within the backup may be causing that.

 

Many thanks

Hello,

the quickest way to understand why there was such an increase is to compare two backup archives. If you're under Windows, you can use the tool https://winmerge.org/ : extract both archives and then compare the two root folders. You should be able to quickly see what caused the spike.
