Frag Guard^® -- Frag Guard Write Defragmentation Software is a companion product to DISKEEPER Online Defragmenter for Open VMS. It helps prevent fragmentation by causing files to be written contiguously, where possible.

Frag Guard reduces or eliminates file fragmentation when new files are created and when existing files are extended. It does not defragment files; instead it helps prevent them from being created or extended in a fragmented state in the first place.

When a file is created or extended in a fragmented state, additional system resources (I/O and CPU) are needed to store the fragmented data on the disk. Separate I/O operations are needed to store each fragment of the file onto the disk. Thus, a file stored in ten fragmented pieces uses more system resources to store than a file stored in one contiguous piece.

Reducing fragmentation speeds up file creation and extension, since fewer fragments equals fewer I/Os to store them.

FILEMASTER – FILEMASTER File Management Software makes time-consuming OpenVMS file management chores a snap. With its PC-like directory-tree structure, FILEMASTER makes it easy to order and sort through thousands of files with a few simple commands.  You can view the contents of files without opening them, search a directory (or an entire disk) for a key word or phrase and sort files in almost any way you can think of!
