I use 1 disk device per client (and 1 job per volume) and had never considered that fragmentation could be a problem... In retrospect I guess it was pretty obvious. xfs_db tells me I have 99.94% fragmentation - I guess it couldn't get much worse :) Backup performance isn't an issue at this time but it's something to think about in the future.
