All of these defrag tools use the same system calls that Microsoft provides to move blocks around. There's nothing MS-DOS about them, and they can certainly handle large files.

I don't know why you think that pausing a defrag will make it worse. It's just moving blocks around.

I'm not really sure if you intended to be a joke or what.
