36 Diskeeper Operation volumes for file access frequency on an ongoing basis in to determine which files are requested most often. Special analysis techniques prevent Diskeeper from being “fooled” by files that have been recently accessed. Using newly-developed technology, Diskeeper sequences the files to take best advantage of both the logical characteristics and physical characteristics of the volume. The sequencing process is integrated with background defragmentation, so it’s virtually transparent to you. Note that I-FAAST Defragmentation Jobs are intended to be used in conjunction with Primary or Secondary Defragmentation Jobs, and these defragmentation jobs will follow rules established by the I-FAAST engine based on the I-FAAST evaluation of the volume. Also note that since I-FAAST defragmentation is an ongoing process based on conditions and activity patterns detected on your specific volumes, it can take up to a week or more for the full benefits of I-FAAST to become apparent. When you first enable an I-FAAST Defragmentation Job on a volume, Diskeeper evaluates the volume to determine if the volume will benefit from I-FAAST defragmentation. In order to gather the most accurate data about your volumes, the I-FAAST evaluation should be done when no other activity is occurring on the computer. Any currently-running defragmentation jobs will be stopped before the I-FAAST evaluation is performed. Manual Defragmentation Jobs will not be resumed, but Primary or Secondary Defragmentation Jobs will resume at their next scheduled starting time. After the evaluation has been completed, if any of the selected volumes will not benefit from running I-FAAST, a message is displayed to explain why, and you are given the choice of enabling I-FAAST Defragmentation or not on those volumes. It should be noted that the I-FAAST evaluation creates a hidden \Diskeeper folder at the root level of each volume on which it is run. This folder contains data files used by I-FAAST and should not be deleted when I- FAAST is enabled. After the evaluation, the General properties page of the I-FAAST Defragmentation Job Properties dialog shows the potential file acceleration from running I-FAAST on the volume and other useful information. I-FAAST intelligence allows Diskeeper to adapt to changing situations—so if the demands on a given system change, Diskeeper automatically adjusts its behavior accordingly. Setting an I-FAAST Defragmentation Job Schedule Keep in mind that I-FAAST (Intelligent File Access Acceleration Technology) Defragmentation Jobs are designed to run along with either Primary or Secondary Defragmentation Jobs. I-FAAST Defragmentation Jobs are intended to supplement regular scheduled defragmentation jobs, not replace them. As the Primary and Secondary Defragmentation Jobs run, they will follow rules established by the I-FAAST engine based on the I- FAAST evaluation of the volume. Follow these steps to enable and schedule an I-FAAST Defragmentation Job on one or more volumes: 1. Click I-FAAST Defragmentation Job Properties on the Diskeeper toolbar or select it from the Set It and Forget It task list in the Quick Launch Pane. 2. Select one or more volumes in the dialog displayed and enable the Enable I-FAAST to run on the selected volumes check box on the Job Schedule properties page. Note that this option may not be available when certain volumes are highlighted. See below for more information. 3. Use the options provided to specify how often you want the I-FAAST Defragmentation Job to run (daily or weekly), and starting and ending times for the job. 4. Click OK to save the schedule you have set and close the I-FAAST Defragmentation Job Properties dialog or click Apply to save the schedule without closing the dialog. Click Cancel to close the dialog without saving the schedule.
Diskeeper Operation 37 When you first enable an I-FAAST Defragmentation Job on a volume, Diskeeper evaluates the volume to determine if the volume will benefit from I-FAAST defragmentation. If the volume will not benefit, a message is displayed to explain why, and you are given the choice of enabling I-FAAST Defragmentation or not. I-FAAST Job Scheduling Options When setting a schedule for an I-FAAST Defragmentation Job, you are given these options: Enable the I-FAAST Defragmentation Job to run on the selected volumes Click this check box to alternately enable and disable the I-FAAST job on the volumes you select in the Computer pane displayed in the I-FAAST Defragmentation Job Properties dialog. Schedule Type Since I-FAAST defragmentation is a specialized operation, only the “Custom” schedule type is available. Frequency Use this section of the Job Schedule page to specify how often the I-FAAST Defragmentation Job should run on the selected disk volumes. You can choose to run it either Daily or Weekly. The options available under the “Days” section of the Job Schedule page (described below) differ, depending on whether you choose Daily or Weekly Days Use this section of the Job Schedule page to specify days the Diskeeper job will (or will not) be allowed to run on the selected volumes. If you select the Weekly option in the “Frequency” section of the Job Schedule page, these options are available: Mondays Tuesdays Wednesdays Thursdays Fridays Saturdays Sundays If you select the Daily option in the “Frequency” section of the Job Schedule page, these options are available: Everyday Except Weekends Except Mondays Except Tuesdays Except Wednesdays Except Thursdays Except Fridays Except Saturdays Except Sundays
