Archive contents analysis

Hi all,

I am using mondorescue for couple of years now (so far just for backup,
restore only when testing archive, fortunately :-) ), it's a great piece
of software, thanks a lot.

Recently, my archives grew quite fast out of proportions, and I don't
know why. Does anyone has any recommendation how to analyze archive
content based on size?

The naive solution is to download the archive from the remote server,
extract it locally and analyze. As the backup is over 50GB, I would like
to avoid that :-).

Mondorescue in interactive mode shows me the contents, but not the size
(e.g. accumulated size for folders), so that's not really usable. Is the
size in some of the indexes on the media, so I can analyze that (using
e.g. some simple script)? Or any other hint where to start looking?

Thanks a lot

Tomas
