Vista - diskeeper 2007 and image file?

Can I defragment the spare drive with the WindowsImageBackup folder on it
without damaging it?

Thanks

I don't use Diskeeper so I can't comment on it's use, but in general
defragmenting should not affect it.

The built in Defrag works fine for most folks. The folks that need a visual
GUI, with the jiggling and moving blocks go for the 3rd party defraggers.
Keep it at the default to run once a week at a time when you're not
otherwise using the system and forget it.
