My daughter uses an older MacBook (1.83 GHz) with OS 10.5.6 and Parallels to run Windows applications that she needs to interface with the systems at her company. She has never defragged the drive or used any ‘tune up’ software like TechTools.

If she does, are there any special concerns related to the fact that she uses Parallels?

She backs up using Time Machine but it worries me a bit that she isn’t doing any crash avoidance.
