Yes.   Though I would not have believed it at this time.   12 Disk RAID set
on SAN.
 
We noticed a large decrease in our backup window after defragging our
drives.

I have a database volume that is 95% fragmented. I'm getting poor
performance on my backups. 

In your experience, has file fragmentation caused slow performance on
Windows systems? 

Thanks 
Karl
