Question:  Will using BACKUP to back up my C: partition to D:, and then
RESTORing it back, eliminate file fragmentation, thereby reducing hard
disk access time?  

I know I can backup c to d, then restore it back, and use Norton Commander
to ditch the read-only backup files (I'm not interested in trying to keep
them on floppies).  Then I would do the same with d onto c and back.

Thanks.
