Sounds like the mistake here was to rebuild the fragmented disk from an /image
backup.  You'll get all the randomly scattered blocks right back again.  If
you do a regular [read slow] backup and use the filesystem, you should win...
each file will be recreated one at a time, and contiguous space [ya hope]
allocated for each.  If the files already on the pack are corrupted, this may
or may not recover your data, but the resultant pack should be usable.
