system restore/defrag

If I create a Restore point, will the Restore function still work if I do a
defrag of the HD? I have read that doing a defrag after some backup or
imaging programs will cancel the restore function for that program. Will it
react the same for Windows? Thanks, Steve T.

Defrag has no impact on System Restore.
