I believe that Dean is saying that after defragging his drive, the
defragmentation process cause his message base files to become
corrupt. A compressed TB folder as only a TB folder with the deleted
messages removed. Nothing special.
TO> If so, seems like something to be seriously concerned about.
I think a more pertinent concept would be concern about the
defragmentation tools used.
TO> Has anyone else experienced this?
There have been a two other reports of people losing all their data
files after compressing. IMHO neither of these individuals lost their
data *because* of the compression process itself. When compressing a
large folder or a high throughput folder which has a lot of dead wood
space, the file allocation system may be stretched. Any weaknesses
there would result in an eventual failure in data somewhere.
