I just bought Symantec Utilities and was surprised that HD TuneUp, which
purports to defragment a disk only performs internal defragmentation.
The documentation is a little misleading (paraphrased from memory:
"you will not need to backup your disk and then restore it"). However,
if you want, for example, to build partitions, you need to have a
large *contiguous* area, but HD TuneUp does not remove external
fragmentation. So I guess I'll have to do another fullsave, then
build the partitions, and then restore the disk. Unless someone
knows another way to remove external defragmentation...
