Backing Up Data Before Optimizing
Since your files will be rewritten by the optimization
process, always make a backup copy of the data on your
hard drive before you optimize it. You should also use a
hard drive utility to find and repair any problems before
optimizing data or re-initializing your drives. If there is
any damage to your hard drive's directories prior to op-
timizing, serious data loss may result.
