Settings: Offline Defragmentation Tuning O&O Defrag offers many ways in which you can make your defragmentation even more effective and efficient. The standard configurations are already optimized for most systems which means you won’t normally have to make any alterations here. You can, however, also adjust the tuning options yourself. O&O ActivityGuard Pro This feature controls the demand on your system and automatically adapts it to current conditions. You can thereby work undisturbed while your system is being defragmented in the background. This is particularly helpful if you don’t know exactly when a computer will be available for a defragmentation. Thanks to the O&O ActivityGuard Pro, you don’t have to worry about that anymore. The O&O AutoSense method regularly performs an automated check on how much of your resources are available for the defragmentation and is the recommended configuration. If you want to run the defragmentation as quickly as possible, you should use all the system’s power for this purpose. Please note that it is considerably difficult to work undisturbed during defragmentation on heavily strained or older systems. You can also enter manually the percentage of the resources O&O Defrag should use. O&O Defrag will then limit itself to this percentage and the remaining resources will be available for other applications. User's Guide for O&O Defrag 11 User Interface (GUI) l 27
Defragmentation You can defragment your drives either parallel or sequentially. Sequential defragmentation means that one drive will be defragmented after the other, in alphabetical order. If you choose parallel defragmentation, drives (partitions) that lie on physically separate hard disks can be defragmented simultaneously. This makes for a much faster defragmentation. If you only have one physical hard disk in your computer, your volumes will be defragmented sequentially. Only in Windows XP and Windows Vista: During defragmentation, the Layout.ini-File is used as a reference to optimize the layout of files on the hard disk. When you select to take into account the file Layout.ini during defragmentation, O&O Defrag will defragment according to the order of system files dictated by the operating system. Doing so can accelerate the speed at which these files are loaded during a system's startup. Power Management Power Management is a special feature designed for notebooks. Using it, you can make sure that defragmentation will not take place if the notebook is working from battery power. This means your notebook’s battery will last longer. The notebook will only be defragmented when it is reconnected to the main power. If your computer is switched off, O&O Defrag can "wake" it from standby mode in order to run a defragmentation. You can therefore defragment at night or on the weekend without having to leave your computer running all the time, and without your having to be present!
