Dear Gilberto and Diaolin,
Thanks for your help.
But I have only linux debian server, and this happens also with
the fresh and last one I just setting up with nothing else except
the basic filesystem (500Mo) and for this VM I set a 80G of disk,
and then the backup size is 20G !
The thing is if the disk of the VM is 32G, the backup is 17G, if
the disk of the VM is 100G the backup file size is 30G, and for
these VM there are nothing except a basic debian system (with no X)
Since I am using Proxmox I didn't change the storage (DELL
MD3200i) and the physical server ! It appeared suddendly, maybe
with one update, I don't know.
Many thanks for your help.
Have a nice week-end
Thomas

Dear all,
I'm using Proxmox version 3.2-1, and since several weeks
or months
(but not before) backup of VMs take a long time and this
is because
the size of each VMs backup are biggest as before.
It it is a windows filesystem just use sdelete -z D: or C:
sdlete comes from sysinternals
download.sysinternals.com/files/SDelete.zip
<http://download.sysinternals.com/files/SDelete.zip>
that cleans unused space
and with linux
install secure-delete
or better
create a zero file and erase it
after that you have all unused sectors clean
cat /dev/zero > zero.file
rm zero.file
Take attention that before "rm" the filesystem will be 100%
Ciao, Diaolin

So I installed Linux Mint !
