I'm sorry to hijack this thread, but the question seems to have been answered, so I don't feel too guilty :)
How often do you folks perform offline defrags? Do you have a dedicated downtime agreement to do it, or do you have emergency procedures when disk space is running a little low? For my stores, Offline Defrags will be taking 12+ hours (each) at a rough guess, so it's not something can really do on an ad-hoc basis.

There isn't enough space on the log/system drive either (we just have the two drives). Is there another way to do this? Is it recommended? Our store (we have just one) is about 40 GB, with a STM file of 26 GB (approx). I tried to google it, but nothing came up. Maybe because I'm tired at the end of the day. I'd appreciate any help I can get. Thanks.
