Backup Image Size is Lot bigger than the Actual HDD size

We were using the Backup Exec System Recovery 2013 on the Windows Server 2012 R2for quite a period of time (2yrs to 3yrs), but suddenly the Size of the Image created by BESR2013 is quite bigger (about 1.5 times) than the Actual Drive Size.  We are using the Full Backup Feature, might I know what might causes and also any solution for that?  Thank you very much for all the helps in advance.

    Please provide a screenshot from windows explorer that shows:

    • Size of volume (and used space) that you are backing up
    • Size of backup image (recovery point) for this volume
