Product Description:

Advanced Mac OS X disk defragmentation and optimization. Supports the very latest features of HFS+, including journaling, case sensitive filenames and adaptive hot file clustering (which means it won't mess-up the Hot Zone).

What's new in this version:

  • Fixed a problem introduced in 1.6.8 where iDefrag was unable to move hard link folder files in "Quick (on-line)" mode.
  • Added compatibility for PGP whole disk encryption.
  • Updated the error messages for the on-line defrag routine.
  • Prevent iDefrag from appearing to hang on completion when DNS is misconfigured (obviously it's better to fix your DNS settings...).

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.5 Intel
  • Mac OS X 10.5 PPC
  • Mac OS X 10.4 Intel

iDefrag CommentaryiDefrag vs. SuperDuper - Version: 1.6.8, 6/8/2009 05:54AM PST

I am not (yet) an iDefrag user, and my knowledge/understanding of defraging/optimization is nil, so I well understand if my question is off base.

SuperDuper allows me the option to erase a drive/volume prior to copying the backup. Doesn’t the erasing accomplish the same thing?

I know iDefrag has more bells and whistles (some are of no benefit to me) and it may defrag faster, but as I use/schedule SuperDuper while I sleep, I see no advantage there.

So for folks such as me, why use iDefrag?

No offense is intended to the developers, I just don’t understand.

I paid for this application in a painful way, not just the price of a copy. I left a follow up comment of my detailed experience with it. I guess the the maker and/or versiontracker didn't like my totally rational comment and concerns, so they deleted them. Part of what I said was leaving a warning that was on their very web site but in my own words. I personally would like to know if an application has the potential to do damage to my computer. So I was doing a favor for other users, that's what comments and reviews are for. I guess we'll just have to do google searches from now on the get the truth about an application.

I have been using iDefrag for a couple of years now and have had nothing but good results. It will take quite some time to do its job, but that is to be expected for all that it does. I have used it many times and have complete confidence with this application. Just don't expect iDefrag to do its work in a matter of minutes. Start it, let it run all night long and don't get impatient.

Tech support is also good the one time I needed it.
