Rollback + Perfectdisk query

ok,

i use Rollback RX Pro, its a lifesaver.

will defragging, using perfectdisk, corrupt any of the snapshots in any way?

 

Advice I have been given says do not use any degragger other than Rollback's own defragger on whatever partition(s) Rollback is protecting. If I reinstall Rollback, I will not use PerfectDisk on my C drive but will use on other partitions not protected.

i think its not advisable to defrag your system with RBRx installed.

i'm not sure if this will result to snapshot corruption, but my advise is if you really need to defrag your system better to uninstall your RBRx before running defrag.

btw, why you don't want to use RBRx built-in snapshot defragmenter?

 

sometimes when i reboot, it says defragmenting snapshots > then optimizing.

but this only takes a few seconds, surely it cant be doing much.

 

ive got too many snapshots to loose though

 

We contacted the Rollback team and they responded with the following:

“In order to run any Windows based defragger is to uninstall RollBack Rx. Defrag the hard drive and then re-install RollBack.

There is a reason for why defragging of your drive is not recommended with RollBack Rx. Firstly, all defraggers only defrag files system based on Windows. These defraggers do not understand the sector mapping algorithms of RollBack Rx - in most cases these defraggers see "White Spaces" which in fact are used by RollBack to map the changes between snapshots. Therefore, Defragging is actually causing more file disruption than its intended use.”
