Online Defrag Schedule

[bmacfee]

We have an info store of 460gb. The online defrag runs nightly. Our offsite backup people say that the backup would run a lot better if we did the onlne defrag once a week. Any thoughts on if this would be a good idea or not?
Thanks All!

The backups shouldn't run when the nightly maintenance is running. It's true that things would be better off if you ran the maintenance less often, but a truly better solution would be to split that SG into smaller chunks. I would never recommend SGs that big.
