defrag

Hello
Should you backup an external hard drive that you use to backup your system to or will that cause a problem?
Thank you.

 

No need if you just want to defrag

 

plodr, I've never tried it, but couldn't you just do a copy file/s instead of a backup of the backup file/s?

I'm sorry guys. I made that quick note in a hurry and obviously meant to say, should you defrag the external backup drive?:-o:-o

 

Can't see much point myself, seeing as the only reason to defrag is to speed things up. On a backup drive that isn't important.

 

Learned something new and one less thing to do - thank you.
