I am currently running PBS on a server with a 8tb Datastore and with 6 Vms and I am already out of disk space and I am not sure why or where the usage is.

Can someone explain?

Looks like you never ran a prune/GC job (based on deduplication factor) . Your backups don't seem to be the issue here though so give this a try
Bash:
du -shc /* | sort -h
# Go deeper
du -shc /bigdirectory/* | sort -h
# And so on...
du -shc /bigdirectory/.../* | sort -h
Or if you have enough space on the root path
Bash:
apt -yU install gdu
gdu /
This would also be of interest
Bash:
lsblk -o+FSTYPE,LABEL,MODEL
df -hT
zfs list -tall -ospace,refreservation

so Where is the 7Tb coming from ??????
this shows me nothing that would explain

GDU shows me and in the .chunks there are a gazillion files (exagerated)

Can you show that? I tried to keep it simple but forgot about hidden paths. Try this
Bash:
find /mnt/datastore/BRIXBackup/* -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -exec du -shc {} + 2>/dev/null | sort -h
If all the space is taken up by .chunks then, as mentioned earlier, you probably didn't run a GC so make sure you have a job for it and run/schedule that.
