I'd backup, wipe the drive, and restore. That will perfectly defrag the
drive, and you'll have a backup.
In general, defragging really isn't a big concern and is rarely
necessary.
Backing up, on the other hand, iis a huge concern and should be done on
a regular schedule determined by how many hours/days/weeks worth of
data you are comfortable losing.
