If that sounds like a hassle then we are willing to do it for you in
a support ticket btw, but it does mean we'll see your file paths,
and would have to be lower priority than any other support request.
So would really rather you did it yourself. :)

The NFS mounts are listed at the bottom of
https://panel.bitfolk.com/backups/ and rsnapshot-diff is a pretty
simple self-contained script so

$ sudo apt-get install rsnapshot
$ sudo rsnapshot-diff -sv /wherever/your/backups/are/weekly.[12] | grep ^+ | sort -rnk 2 | head -10

Cheers,
Andy
