If you are using windows backup then it is based on the VHD format. Use the utility sdelete to zero out any non used space. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897443.aspx

Basically anything that is '0' will just get marked that way and not saved. But as you use a drive stuff gets data but not accessible anymore as delete is just removing the pointer to the data not the data. SSDs uses trim that really does 0 it out in the background for you. Normal HD's dont.

If you find a util that can move a file speak up. I have looked for one. Could write my own but it has not been that big of a deal. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa364577%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
