Bob,
No problems with that. It's a lot better than the mid-afternoon religious observation to DEFRAG that I have seen in too many sites. At 5 volumes a day some volumes may get their 2nd defrag after 2 or 3 years <g,d,&r back at ya :-)> And the thought of using FCTOPPRCPRIMARY with random DEFRAGS scares my pants off.
