Considerations for running the Reorg function

The following topics describe what you need to consider before running the Reorg function.

It is highly recommended that you take a valid image copy of the output area after running the Reorg function. If you do not take the image copy of the output area, and if, by any chance, the area is broken, there is no way to recover the output area.
