Here is some good news that I just discovered... The latest version of RollBack Rx 9 has included the defragger switch. It was created as a silent update to version 9 as many users had requested this in version 8.x.
In order to use this feature however - it needs to be activated via the command line. Also it is important to understand the above thread on how
file level defragging is perceived by RollBack Rx. It is advised to update your baseline when you've completed the defragging.
In the future, when you want to defrag with a third party or OEM Defrag tool, do the following:
- Run command line switch "shieldcmd /defrag" (no quotes) from start/run
- Defrag your OS and File system using your own defragging utility (eg. Diskkeeper, Perfect Disk, Windows etc.)
- Run update baseline from RollBack Rx client application console -> manage baseline -> make the current system (after defragged system) as a new baselline snapshot.
Even in this cirumstance, you will LOSE all your previous snapshots. It is for this reason that we still recommend you uninstall RollBack Rx prior to defragging your PC.
