[. . . ] Note: You can disable the offline defragmentation at any time by using the Disable button. Laplink 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. Tuning Tab - 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 ActivityGuard Pro, you don't have to worry about that anymore. The 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 Laplink Defrag should use. Laplink Defrag will then limit itself to this percentage and the remaining resources will be available for other applications. Laplink® Defrag Tuning Tab - Defragmentation Execution http://www. laplink. com/help 16 User Guide E-mail us at CustomerService@laplink. com Tel (USA): +1 (425) 952-6001 Fax (USA): +1 (425) 952-6002 Tel (UK): +44 (0) 870-2410-983 Fax (UK): +44 (0) 870-2410-984 You can defragment your drives using either simultaneous (parallel) or sequential defragmentation. Sequential defragmentation means that one drive will be defragmented after the other, in alphabetical order. If you choose simultaneous defragmentation, drives (partitions) that lie on physically separate hard disks can be defragmented at the same time. If you only have one physical hard disk in your computer, your volumes will be defragmented sequentially. Take into account the system's layout rules (LAYOUT. INI): For Windows XP and Vista operating systems, the LAYOUT. INI file is used as a reference to optimize the layout of files on the hard disk during defragmentation. When you select Take into account the system's layout rules, Laplink 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. Note: This feature to defragment according to the system's layout rules is only available on Windows XP and Vista operating systems. Tuning Tab - 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. The notebook will only be defragmented when it is reconnected to the main power. [. . . ] Please consult your firewall's documentation for precise configuration procedures. Note: If you have configured your firewall accordingly and are still receiving Error Message "10061", please verify that the services "Laplink Defrag" and "Event Viewing" are enabled. If this is not the case, please enable these services. The methods STEALTH, SPACE, COMPLETE/Access and COMPLETE/Modified are best suited for servers. Files are created, changed and deleted with great regularity on all servers, but particularly on file servers, Fragmentation therefore occurs more quickly and severely than on other computers.
