I’ve got the following setup:
- a virtual machine with a virtual HDD at 160GB split over around 50 files (it’s a VMWare VM, so I’m talking about VMDK files)
- after working in the VM for some hours, my daily backup will copy all 50 file, because they all have modifications
My question is this:
- Is there a tool to “defragment” the windows file system in a way to keep the busy files roughly together?
- (The idea is that fewer HDD files are modified in order to improve backup performance)
My questions are not:
- How to defragment a HDD in general…
- How to improve backup performance in general…
- I’m not looking for suggestions on backup software…
