A. Preemptive recommends scheduling the defrag operation as a nightly maintenance operation. We recommend setting the automatic selection methods that can be found on the Technical Settings document of the product. We also recommend running Defrag.NSF after any form of database Compact. Databases that show daily fragmentation should receive special attention. Enable the “Advanced Settings” option for the database in Defrag.NSF, enable “Monitor Free Space” and then enable “Pre-Allocate Free Space”. This will reduce future fragmentation by padding the database with usable free space.
