Using options --dry-run and --print-stats would probably give you this information
''Don't really create an archive; just simulate doing so. The list of paths added to an archive (if the -v option is used) and statistics printed (if the --print-stats option is used) will be identical to if tarsnap is run without the --dry-run option.''

- luuse 13y agoMissed the dry-run option but it still seems to require a key which requires you to pay. Talked with some on irc and it seems it's not possible at the moment. Someone mentioned gzip providing a good enough estimate on the compression without taking the de-duplication into account.
- keeperofdakeys 13y agoGzip would provide a fine-enough approximation, since both that and tarsnap use zlib. Tarsnap also has deduplication, so equal (or almost-equal) files will take up much less space.
- bosie 13y agois there a way to check the size of your backup without having an account?
