[Box Backup] dry run ?

Hello,

I'm using boxbackup to do an offsite backup of about 300 GB of data. 
When I first set it up, I used a removable hard drive to pre-seed the 
offsite boxbackup server to avoid bandwidth costs and waiting for 2 
weeks for it to sync.

Howerver, I'm finding that it's still running 24x7, pumping out files to 
the server. I have bbackupd in debug mode, so in /var/log/syslog I can 
see what files it's uploading.

But, is there a way to determine how many files and bytes need to be 
uploaded on the next backup run? Something like rsync's -n option?

Thanks,

Wim
