What are the compression, deduplication rates for the backup file created by each job?

It might be caused by several factors, but we know nothing about your repository settings. Also, is it an initial full backup of the VM (or VMs set) that was then immediately copied to the target repository? Or is there an incremental backup chain on the source already (1 full and several increments) and the backup copy has produced a single restore point from it? Too little information to judge.

If you create an active full, then retention rules of the forward incremental backup method will be applied to the backup chain.
