In another thread it was mentioned that we could use RB's snapshot defragger as an alternative. This is what I have been doing so far, but I wondered if I should still do a system defrag every once in awhile and if so, is there a way to tell when I should? I assume normal defraggers can't report the state of the drive reliably when there are snapshots?
Also, when I update the baseline periodically, does the drive tend to get defragmented, or does snapshot defragmenter take care of everything?
Thanks,

Hi,
I think it is not a complete alternative. Fragmentation is maybe´sister of Windows OS at HDD´ :-), but cyclic method via Rollback (I wrote it in other place of this Forum) is good in my case. Rollback to baseline (step 6.) is return to defragment. system.
NTFS disk format is not very susceptible to frag problems (freezing of programs, OS etc.), but it is thing of using PC. Some users have big change of datas every day, here is greater chance for freezing.
I think, automatic defrag is very trendy, but with normal using of PC is necessary max. 4x - 6x in year.
With installed Rollback and cyclic method is good 2x - 3x in year. I prefer here method with reinstall Rollback Rx.
P. S.
New HDD with other technology of writing and reading datas are better. Frag problem is not stressful event here.
