Yes you can.
But we do not recommend you to defrag the drives protected by RestoreX360 because It will not deliver the results you expect.
RestoreX360 snapshots are transparent to Windows defragmenter, the defragmenter cannot read or alter data in RestoreX360 snapshots. So the defragmenter can only defrag the data in the current system, it will not be able to defrag data in snapshots.
This is what we recommend:
1. Defrag the disks before installing RestoreX360, so you have a nice and clean system.
2. RestoreX360 has a build-in snapshot defragmenter, you should use it to defrag the system. It’s fast and it works with RestoreX360 snapshots.
3. If you want to defrag the drives with a third party defragmenter. Turn off RestoreX360 protection, defrag the drives and then turn on the protection.
