Here are some answers to your questions.

You could choose to NOT create a new Baseline - there is no problem technically from not creating a Baseline. Your snapshots are not going to be corrupted. Your snapshot in which you "defragged" your drive using a file level defragger would be quite large.

When you defrag your drive using a file level defragger - only the files within that current snapshot would be defragged. Why would you NOT want to defrag your system at the baseline? or create a new baseline when you want to defrag your PC? Because if you spend 25+ minutes defragging within snapshot "C" (for example) - and then you decide at a latter point to roll-back to snapshot "B" or the Baseline "A" - all of your efforts of defragging that you performed in snapshot "C" would be lost - and quite honestly a complete waste of time and effort.

Refer to our previous thread for more details on defragging with RollBack Rx: http://horizondatasys-forum.com/roll...ternative.html

Hope this info helps
