Determining Backup Size

I am attempting to determine the size of my compressed backup to send to Amazon S3. I ran a forced backup to /backups (no external destination) and arrived at these sizes... [2021-06-15 18:49:32 +0000] size is: 1128617848 [2021-06-15 18:49:32 +0000] [2021-06-15 18:49:32 +0000] homesize is: 1633472512 [2021-06-15 18:49:32 +0000] [2021-06-15 18:49:32 +0000] homefiles is: 47393 [2021-06-15 18:49:32 +0000] [2021-06-15 18:49:32 +0000] mysqlsize is: 83912896 ...is the 'homesize' the size of the complete backup that will be sent or is it a total of all the sizes? Slightly confused here.

  Hey there! the top "size" is the total for the package. Here is an example I performed on my local machine: [2021-06-15 16:00:42 -0400] size is: 39303302 [2021-06-15 16:00:43 -0400] [2021-06-15 16:00:43 -0400] homesize is: 99463168 [2021-06-15 16:00:43 -0400] [2021-06-15 16:00:43 -0400] homefiles is: 3453 [2021-06-15 16:00:43 -0400] [2021-06-15 16:00:43 -0400] mysqlsize is: 126431 # ls -la /home/cpmove-username.tar.gz -rw-------. 1 root root 39303302 Jun 15 16:00 cpmove-aaron.tar.gz
