I have a large number of backup drives which I have flagged in options NOT TO BE DEFRAGGED. They take too long and do not benefit as they are so rarely accessed. Yet Smart Defrag ignores my settings and keeps on defragging them. 

 

Why?

Are you talking Auto defrag or manual defrag. If Auto, have you checked the Auto settings.

If Manual, try selecting all the drives in the Main Gui, then un-check the backup drives again and see if that sorts the issue.

If not, try uninstalling and reinstalling SD.

Also, you could try putting your backup drives in the ignore list.

Auto. And by not selecting them, I'm, already asking them to be ignored! But I'll try that a s a workaround this bug. Cheers

Also worth checking is.......

In the maim gui, at the bottom of the box for each drive there is a dropdown arrow.

In that drop down menu for each device there are 3 options...Auto Defrag/Boot Time Defrag/Disk Cleanup

It would be worth checking that the Auto Defrag option is not selected for your backup drives

Ah yes. Not good practice, being able to set contradictory settings in different places, is it?
