VMDK disk image may be streamOptimized for featuring so-called sparse data support. Unofficial tests also show that VMDK is significantly faster than VDI. This makes the backup process for VMDK files much faster compared to VDI and VHD. VMDK do allow incremental backups of changes to data from the time of the last backup, unlike VDI does.
