Windows Restore Causes Frag


Recommended Posts

I recently learned the doing a Windows Backup/Restore

Restore causes the drive or partition to be Completely Fragmented. :?

 

I takes a Very Long Time for Smart-defrag to do a Large amount of data! :!:

 

And if you are doing a 'Fast Optimize' it takes at least two Runs to get it all defragmented.

(SD can Not do a Large amount of data in a single Pass)

Hi Toppack

Interesting.

I have also previously found that it is best to run a simple defrag first.

A more precise report would be good I think - how much data - how fragmented - which defrag type utilized etc. How much time for the operations?

Thanks!

I had done a Defrag shortly before the Restore was required,

The point I was making is that doing a defrag Before does Not matter

since Restoring completely Fragmented the data.

(since it is converting Compressed data)

 

I think that was the first time I have needed to do a complete partition Restore, and I hope it is the Last time, :roll:

but if it happens again I'll be sure to keep better records. :grin:
