I use DK all the time -- just not on any drive/partition that contains open Oracle datafiles. Due to the structure of NTFS, I would never use a defragger on an Oracle drive on Windohs. We've had backups corrupt datafiles that were checkpointing during the backups, albeit on Oracle7. Then again, I won't run Oracle Server on Windohs anyway (unless I'm not given a choice).

Hi DBAs,

My sysadmin asked me if he can use a tool called Diskeeper to defrag the disks on our Windows servers.

Did someone know that tool?

What could be the impact on the Oracle datafiles?

Thank you and have a good week-end ...

Luc
