It's not a good idea to be defraging while running a VSS-based backup (which most new server backup products are doing). It can corrupt the backups or cause them to error. I schedule mine to run during a three hour stretch when no backups are running.

Anyone know of a way to do that? The objVolume.Defrag() method does not seem to take any parameters.

Any other program doing it better?


I have consistently had great luck with Diskeeper and especially the newest version.


I find that you actually can let it run all the time and it does not interfere with normal I/O. I know that doesn't sound right (I didn't buy it myself at first). However, my experience has been that it lives up to it's claims.
