jackschmidt Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 All, I have a RAID array with one logical volume, and all of my disk backup sets get backed up to that volume. The drive gets very heavily fragmented from grooming. It is usually around 47% fragmented. I have obviously defragmented the volume, however it is right back to roughly 50% fragmentation the next day. I would rather not defrag the volume everyday, because I cannot imagine that it is good for the drives. Has anyone else noticed this large amount of fragmentation on disk backup sets that get groomed? If so, what is your solution rather than defragging everyday? Thanks in advance, Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennart_T Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Why would fragmented files be a problem? It was many years ago I had to defragment a drive and both hard drives as well as computers have gotten MUCH faster since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackschmidt Posted October 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Well, fragmentation normally wouldn't be that big of a deal, but considering the drive is 50% fragmented every day, it is a problem. It is putting much more of a strain on the drives, and I believe it is the cause of the errors I am getting in Retrospect (could not create page file, error 80).
