Gut feeling indicates I need these someday:
From VHD to Proxmox you need to convert to RAW not IMG:
# qemu-img convert -f vpc -O raw PATH/to/DISK.vhd PATH/to/DISK.raw

Not sure why yet, but on a gigabit network between a Windows 2008 R2 Server and a Proxmox KVM machine, WinSCP gets around 10 megabit/second and FileZilla > 30 megabit/second.
Others seem to agree that filezilla faster than winscp.

In the 2009 past, sdelete used the -c parameter to zero wipe clean a hard drive and -z would clean it with a random pattern.
That has changed. Somewhere along the lines, -c and -z has swapped meaning which I didn’t notice.
This resulted in many of my virtual machines image backups were a lot larger than they needed to be.
The reason is that now:
-c does a clean free space with a random DoD conformant pattern (which does not compress well)
-z writes zeros in the free space
Incidently, -c is a lot slower than -z as well.
TL;DR: use this command
sdelete -z C:
Where C: is the drive to zero clean the free space.
