Yes, and it won't include many files if you are using an incremental. Traversing the directory tree to estimate the size of the tree can be expensive, so, yes, there isn't a way to do it in the cgi interface. A moderately accurate way is to run BackupPC_tarCreate and pipe the output into wc. This isn't exact because of the tar headers and padding of each file to match the tar block size.
