Hi Ray.
Nope DK doesn't include a backup facility.
However it does warn you I've noticed if you schedule it to do a boot time
defrag that before undertaking a task such as this you should have a current
backup.
So I went investagating to see if defragging being that it's moving blocks
of software and free space around on the disk to see if defragging can be
potentially harmful if things go arie.
And found nothing as I was in a bit of a rush but I did find this no
nonsense revie of DK 9.

VEry good to hear remarks on this subject of defragging. I tend to do
this around once a month with System Mechanic, but having heard peoples'
remarks about regarding diskeeper, it sounds certainly worth
investigating.
I'd only add that this experience highlights all too obviously the need
for backup. There are very cheap external hard drives these days which,
being hard drives, might be prone to going down themselves, but at least
ones chances of recovering lost data are much beeter than with nothing at
all in reserve. DVD with new capacities of around 8GB is another obvious
candidate. Then also there is on-line backup, but for so many gigs of
backup that could be an exspensive option.
So, maybe the question should be, what backup method should be used; and
what media storage type? From what's being siad thus far, sounds as if
diskeeper might also incorporate backup features of its own. Is this the
case?

| Actually, I'd have to disagree slightly here. If you're relying on the

in
