Default 2-3 hours snapshot works, defrag?

Hi, 2-3-4 hours snapshots are possible using a .bat file and task manager
as quoted by Baldrick and its working great. What I would like to know is what would be the command line "what to write in the .bat file" to make defragmenter start when we want? That way I could program it to do the defrag at night. Thanks

and then set it up to run under the Windows Scheduler every 2 hours or on whatever interval you want...simples as they say.

Hope that helps?

Hi Fireneg

See what you are trying to do but unfortuantely I can find no command line instruction or parameter that will aloow the start of snapshot defragging from within a .bat.

Check out the help text in RB Rx (under Rollback Rx Client/Command Line Switches) and you will see that whilst just about everything else seems to be covered this apparently is not...unless Nick or a member of the Support Team can help?

Thanks Baldrik, at least it's working for the snapshot, too bad it isn't for the defrag Thanks

Hi Baldrick, I'm now able to make it defrag at the time I want to with "AUTOIT a free program" and windows task manager.

Hope this helps others. Thanks
