? on GoBack in Win98

I noticed that when I defragged my drives using the WinMe Defrag program (and may I say "Mucho mejor" over Win98's Defrag program) that the "Gobackio.bin" file no longer contained revert times. This is located on my "G" drive. When I tried to defrag "G", got message saying the drive was protected. I thought, "No it's not.", and tried again. That's when I noticed the disappearance of the revert times. Storage is not a problem, I have 165GB on my drives and "Gobackio.bin" only takes about 4GB of space. Can I, in the future, copy the "Gobackio.bin" to another drive and then defrag, and then cut it back it back to "G" and thusly retain my settings?

Thanks
Bill

I run win98 and goback too. I've found that it's imperative to disable (not just close) goback when defragging or backing up (I use drive clone to backup to a second drive). If I fail to disable then neither task will complete and goback whimpers and dies. Since I usually do both defragging and backing up at the same sitting, it doesn't matter that the goback history is lost since I now have the backup as of that juncture.

Try Ontrack's Fix-it utilities. It's cheap and you don't have to play around when you defrag. It doesn't care what's running in the background and do endless restarts. The Windows accessory defrag sucks. (by the way they update almost daily the anti-virus)
