How to check backup job size before starting backup

Ja, ich suche eine Lösung

Hi, I have a rather big network storage of about 8TB. I have to backup some of my data to (multiple) tapes (400GB with compresssion) 

After selecting several folders on the network drive I have no idea what the total filesize will be before starting the backup to tape. I have done this some  weeks ago by trail and error, each day deselecting some folders until finally after a week the selected data fitted on a tape (including each time fustration and a big headache after some hours of a running job). I hardly can imagine that this is the way to go?

Of course I can spend some time calculating the selected folders and subfolders piece by piece and get a rough Idea if the job will probably succeed based on the calculatad jobsize, but there must be a more convienient way in Backup Exec to do this?

Who can enlighten me on this subject?
