Diskeeper 10 User's Manual

Diskeeper and Group Policy 73
When this policy is enabled, users who are not members of the Administrators group can right-click the
Diskeeper system tray icon to delay a currently-running defragmentation operation. When this policy is
disabled, only users who are members of the Administrators group can use the Diskeeper icon in the system
tray to control Diskeeper operations.
I/O Smart
This policy takes the concept of run priorities one step further by “throttling” (suspending) the defragmentation
process whenever disk I/O activity is detected on a disk while it is being defragmented. This ensures the
defragmentation process will be transparent to users, no matter how active the disk.
When this policy is enabled, defragmentation will only proceed when there are no other processes requesting
disk I/O operations from the volume currently being defragmented. When this policy is disabled, Diskeeper
shares disk I/O bandwidth with requests from other processes.
Event Logging
These settings determine what Diskeeper events and other related information is saved in the Windows
Application Event Log.
When this policy is enabled, the event logging settings here will apply to all computers. When this policy is
either disabled or not configured, the event logging settings established locally will be followed. These events
are available for logging:
• Service start and stop
• Defragmentation start and stop
• Defragmented files
• Moved files
• Disk information
• File information
• Directory information
• Paging file information
• MFT information
Smart Schedule All Volumes
This policy allows you to set Smart Scheduling for all volumes on all computers affected.
When this policy is enabled, the schedule defined here will apply to all computers. When this policy is either
disabled or not configured, the schedule established locally will be followed.
With Smart Scheduling, you no longer have to decide how often to defragment your disk volumes—Diskeeper
will automatically determine the optimum defragmentation schedule for each volume and adjust it accordingly.
When Smart Scheduling is enabled, Diskeeper keeps track of the number of files moved every time it runs on
each volume. When the number of fragmented files moved during a defragmentation run increases, Diskeeper
is automatically scheduled to run more often. When the number of files moved decreases, the time between
defragmentation runs is increased.
You can use the “starting” and “ending” time drop down lists to further define times when the scheduling of
automatic defragmentation runs will not be allowed.
