Disc de-fragmentation

What is the difference between de-fragmenting a disc via Safety Clone and using Disc Warrior (though a Leopard version is not yet available)?

And how do I use Safety Clone? I can't seem to find it in the Super Duper menus.

Cheers,

Martin

You can't defragment with a Safety Clone (which is now called "Sandbox"). Disk Warrior doesn't do a disk defrag, as I recall -- it does a "directory optimization", no?

The Sandbox is discussed in the User's Guide (Help > User's Guide).

But you DID tell me previously that an erase and replace defrags the target disk, and I find THAT method faster than TTPro, just to mention a different option. If I know I'm going to be away from the computer for an hour or so, I do a Smart Update to my backup drive, reboot from the backup, and then do an erase and replace to my internal.

Just another option to remember.

That's right, it does. But that's not what he was trying to do...

Maybe I am misunderstanding but in your White Paper (Fragmentation) you imply that Super Duper can be used to defragment which I am assuming is the same as reorganization.

Yes, but not with a Sandbox.

"Reorganisation" is not a recognised term in this topic. A clone will eliminate fragmentation, but not directory errors. Diskwarrior will eliminate directory errors but not fragmentation.

Well, indeed: we reorganize files to be contiguous, but we don't rearrange the directory structure, which falls where it falls.
