When you need to back up large amounts of data, you try to use up as little space as possible in order to minimize backup storage costs. During backup analysis using Veeam ONE, for example, you might notice that virtual machine (VM) backups are much larger than the actual data. This phenomenon is common with file servers or with systems in which lots of data are deleted or held only for a short time.
