NSB 2011 and Defragmentation

Thread needs solution

Hi,

I note from a forum post by one of the Acronis staff that Non-stop backup in ATIH 2010 worked on a sector by sector basis, which caused issues with defragmentation, as moving a file gave NSB the impression that a file had moved.

Does NSB 2011 also work on a sector level?
Wouldn't it be wiser to make NSB work at a file level? This way the O/S can do what it wants with the files and have them anywhere and everywhere? This way I can defrag my HDD for optimum performance, and not lose data. I find the trade-off between slow and backed up HDD and fast and not-backed up to be a hard choice to make.

In 2011, NSB supports both modes: partition and file backup
