You have a valid point. Why on earth would you want to schedule a defrag &
backup overnight when you can sit there & watch it in real-time.
I'm so glad I read your post, I'll cancel all my maintenace schedules so I
can watch it myself.
Won't need to renew my cable subscription now i'll be too busy watching
defrag to bother with 24.
