Hi,

when I do a "df -h" in a vz I get "4.7GB usage"

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/simfs 63G 4.7G 55G 8% /
tmpfs 503M 0 503M 0% /lib/init/rw
tmpfs 503M 0 503M 0% /dev/shm

But when I check the backup image file its "9.6GB" vzdump-110.tar (9679052800 bytes)

How come the backup is so much bigger?

Its a lvm backup

vzdump --dumpdir /var --snapshot 110
