Any way to see total space used by backup?

I am using the built-in backup option in Proxmox. It seems to work well.
For the backup storage I have configured to have X number of backups. This also works fine and I applaud how simple and easy this is to work with.
One thing I cannot easily find: How much space is being used by backups?
I can see what each backup takes up, but no total. I am pretty good at math, but 10 vm with several backups from each, makes it hard to do the math quickly :-)

Is there a command to show the total used space for backups or did I miss it in the GUI?

P. S. Missing incremental/differential backup in Proxmox, but I also recognize the obvious price difference between Proxmox and VMware+Veeam.

I don't know about the GUI, but if the backup server is Linux, log into that server and run the du command to find used space.

If you are not bound to Windows and can use Linux, look at rsnapshot.
