Auto Defrag setting question

[kd4pdy]

Can anyone tell me if there is a setting allowing auto defrag to do multiple drives. I am looking to have both drive C: and D: auto defrag in the background.

 

Thanks

you only need to auto defragment one drive. defragging your backup disk wont help out performance(or will it? help me out) as you are only using your main disk.

multiple drives

 

Hi kd4pdy-I don't use the auto-defrag myself,but I do know that the GUI upon opening allows you to check the boxes for the drives that you want to defrag and/or optimize-whether or not selecting auto at this point will include both drives checked is unknown to me-it would seem that it should. Additionally,if that second drive is only your back-up or recovery,a one time defrag and optimize should do the trick.I'm sure one of the Admins. will weigh in on this with a more definitive answer-stay tuned

IcyFrostPyro,

Thanks for the response. I should have been more elabrate with my question. Second drive is not for backup it is a working drive for video editing and other stuff. Video elements have a tendency to get scattered across the drive. I can, and do a defrag and optimize before working on projects but would like to have the drive better prepared before I go to burn. I have noticed a increase project load times and working on projects unless things are packed together. I have a schedule to run that will do this every second Tuesday (default settings). one option is to change this. but didn't really want to go there if not needed.

 

Detailer,

Thanks for the sugestion. Been there, done that, no change. No matter what the settings are under the Defrag screen, auto degrag only picks up drive C: and wil not optimize.

 

I have downloaded ver 1.03 still no options changes in new version.
