“some filter” would need to be an external.

[Visualize backup data usage](https://forum.duplicati.com/t/visualize-backup-data-usage/6691/11) wound up there, and has some other ideas that may or may not fit your use.

If you don’t have `egrep`, i.e. this is Windows, pipe to [findstr](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/findstr) or [find](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/find) or use a capable editor like [Notepad++](https://notepad-plus-plus.org/).
