Defrag Tool for Win2000 server

[benitok]

I'm looking for a defrag tool for windows 2000 server. I've got 2TB of data to defrag and a small window to do it in.

I need something I can schedule to run between 4am until 6am.

Any NTFS defrag tool should work. Diskeeper has scheduling.

I second the Diskkeeper option - just do NOT set it do to smartscheduling - that means it defrags when it thinks you pc is idle enough, which is rather annoying if it starts defraging in the middle of the day. The normal scheduling options for Diskkeeper are pretty easy to use.

I'd definitely recommend Diskkeeper. It's the best defrag tool I've ever used.

O&O defrag gets my vote

Don't know if you will be able to defrag 2TB in just 2 hours !

+1 for Diskkeeper

Thing truly does an amazing job.

However, I'm not sure if you'll be able to defrag 2TB in 2 hours. Delete unneeded junk, clear out temporary files and so on. I have found out that it really makes a good difference

I use JK defrag, it's gaining popularity on the net.

O&O Defrag 10 and Paragon Total Defrag. Diskeeper is overrated rubbish.

edit: There's no way you can defrag 2TB of data in 2 hours. Impossible.

I know, but it should defrag for 2 hours and then continue the next day, etc. At some point it should go quicker.

Thanks for all the response.

+1 for JKD. My fav feature is that you can run it as a screen saver.

ScanDefrag is a nice GUI for JKDefrag

EDIT: it had a fast option which only defrags the files that are worth defragging. this should be perfect for what you want.

I have to say thanks for you dudes who recommended JK defrag, I've seen it a few times while browsing online, but I've always thought it was too hard to use, well I was wrong.

I installed it on my mom's laptop with Vista Home Premium last night and it reclaimed about 5GB of space, then today, I installed it on a pc with Vista ultimate and it reclaimed about 10GB of space, just by it's optimizing tecniques!

Really really cool little program, I don't like the Scandefrag GUI that much, but I do love this one:

A short guide to set up Jkdefrag, go to this link and download the Jkdefrag zip file: http://www.kessels.com/JkDefrag/index.html

Extract it on a folder where you'd like to keep it, then download the GUI from the site above http://www.emro.nl/freeware/ extract those files in the same folder and open the GUI file, then you just set the options in the GUI, you can even create shortcuts to it, schedule a task to let it run once a week and so on.

Really really great app, much much better and way faster than any other commercial software out there
