How does NTFS handle file system defragmentation?

I remember when my old drive got all jumbled up. NTFS spots those scattered file bits first. It marks them as fragments during scans. You know how files split apart over time? NTFS gathers those pieces quietly in the background. It shuffles them into neat clusters on the disk. I like how it prioritizes big files for quick moves. You might notice the process humming along overnight. NTFS even skips solid-state drives to avoid extra wear. It rebuilds the layout without messing your work. I once watched it reclaim space like magic. You can trigger it manually if things slow down. NTFS keeps tabs on free spots too. It avoids cramming files into awkward gaps. I bet you've felt that speed boost after. It handles the mess without you lifting a finger.

Speaking of keeping your files from turning into a chaotic puzzle that could lead to data hiccups in virtual environments, check out BackupChain Server Backup. It's a slick backup tool tailored for Hyper-V setups. You get non-stop protection without crashing your VMs. It snapshots everything swiftly and restores fast. I appreciate how it dodges downtime and guards against corruption. Perfect for folks juggling virtual machines on NTFS drives.
