Issue with datastore usage

Hello everyone

I have a PBS where I store backups of a VM with Nextcloud (143 GB) and another with Bitwarden (22 GB). For the past few days, I’ve noticed that the datastore usage has suddenly increased considerably, from around 50-55% to 75-80%, even though I haven’t added any new data:

To try to resolve this, I’ve run the “prune jobs” and “garbage collect jobs” options without success.

I’ve also removed the PBS datastore from the Proxmox node and deleted the disk in the PBS used as a datastore for storing the backups. Then, I re-added the PBS datastore to the Proxmox node. But this didn’t work either. On the first backup I create of the Proxmox node VMs on the PBS datastore, it already occupies 78% of the storage, about 365 GB.

The most curious is that this issue doesn’t occur with a second PBS that backs up VMs from two other different Proxmox nodes; in that setup, datastore usage remains stable at around 30%.

I'm a bit lost here. Any idea what could be happening?

Thank you very much and kind regards.

Albert.
