Info

48 Diskeeper Operation Reliability pane shows this information, recommends the page file configuration tool be run again, and provides a link to run it. File Exclusions Diskeeper exclusion lists allow you to specify files and directories that will not be allowed to be processed by Diskeeper in the Set It and Forget It or Manual defragmentation modes. For example, you might not want to defragment temporary files that will soon be deleted. Keep in mind that fragmented files that are excluded from defragmentation can "skew" the analysis results displayed in the Job Report tab. Diskeeper uses two lists one that you specify, and second "internal" list that you cannot modify. The exclusion list that you create is described below. See page 49 for more information about the Diskeeper Internal Exclusion List. Click Diskeeper Configuration Properties in the Diskeeper toolbar or the Configure Diskeeper task group in the Quick Launch pane, then select the File Exclusions option. Within this page, you can specify the files, folders and volumes you want to be excluded from Diskeeper processing. The following controls are available in the File Exclusions page: Note: Wildcard file specifications such as * or ? are allowed. Files Use this section of the File Exclusions page to choose specific files (by name) to be excluded from defragmentation. Highlight the file(s) to be excluded, and then click Add Files to add the file to the exclusion list. Path Use this section of the File Exclusions page to choose specific directories to be excluded from defragmentation. Select a directory by highlighting it, and then click Add Folder to add the directory to the exclusion list. When a directory folder is added to the exclusion list, any subdirectories below the directory in the tree are also excluded. Volumes Use this section of the File Exclusions page to choose the volume from which you want to exclude files or directories from defragmentation. Add Files Button Click Add Files to add the selected file(s) to the Diskeeper exclusion list. Add Folder Button Click Add Folder to add the selected directory path to the Diskeeper exclusion list. Exclusion List Box This box shows the files, directories, and volumes that will be excluded from defragmentation. Remove Button Click Remove to remove specific files, directories, or volumes from the Diskeeper exclusion list. To remove one or more items from the list, highlight the items in the Exclusion List Box and click Remove. Save Button Click Save to save the exclusion list and return to Diskeeper.
Cancel Button Diskeeper Operation 49 Click Cancel to cancel any changes you have made to the Diskeeper exclusion list and return to the main Diskeeper display. Diskeeper Internal Exclusion List There are certain files that should not be moved under any circumstances. These files may be system files or files related to specific applications. Moving these specific files can cause system or application failure. As a result, Diskeeper uses an “internal” exclusion list to ensure these files are always excluded from Diskeeper processing. This list is fixed in memory and cannot be modified. These are the files that are currently in the Diskeeper internal exclusion list: • bootsect.dos • hiberfil.sys • memory.dmp • safeboot.fs • safeboot.csv • safeboot.rsv Note that these files are not displayed in the Diskeeper user-defined exclusion list. See Diskeeper won't move some files no matter what I do. Is there a problem with Diskeeper? on page 63 for more information about the Diskeeper internal exclusion list. Data Collection Diskeeper can provide useful information about file performance loss on your volumes, and also historical data about the fragmentation levels on your volumes. Click Diskeeper Configuration Properties in the Diskeeper toolbar or the Configure Diskeeper task group in the Quick Launch pane, then select the Data Collection option. Within the Data Collection page, you are presented with these options: Enable volume performance data collection By default, Diskeeper uses pre-determined disk performance values when calculating your performance loss due to fragmentation. To get a more accurate picture of the performance of your volumes, Diskeeper can perform a performance data scan of all your hard drives. Use the Enable volume performance data collection option to enable or disable the scanning of your volumes to gather volume performance data. Diskeeper uses the data gathered during the performance data scan to measure the performance of each of your volumes. It uses this information to determine how much performance you are losing due to fragmentation, and shows the results in the Job Report tab when you run an analysis or defragmentation. Allowing this scan to take place improves the accuracy of the performance data displayed by Diskeeper after the analysis or defragmentation of a disk. When this option is disabled, Diskeeper uses default disk performance values when calculating your performance loss due to fragmentation. This performance scan may take several minutes to complete and may temporarily slow down your computer, but only while the scan is running. Enable volume fragmentation data collection In order to provide accurate information in the Historical Report tab, and the Job Log tab, Diskeeper must analyze your volumes daily and save that data to a data file.
