DaveyBear Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Setting up a defrag schedule in Vista...should the backup destination partition be excluded from the defrag? And for that matter, what about Windows disk cleanup utility? TIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHnee Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 You do not need to exclude the backup destination from the defrag. If you groom your backup set then regular de-fragmentation is actually recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
