With PD4 we can turn off Time Machine backup of a VM. It would be much better to have the option to turn it off _only_ when the VM is running. When the VM is stopped, Time Machine would be allowed to back it up. This coupled to a much finer granularity than 2 GB in the virtual HDD storage, might offer a nice solution for virtual machine backups, either with Time Machine or with some other tools.
We do not recommend to use time machine for backup Vrtual machines, as it may not correctly keep integrity of all files for Virtual machine, thus we added only this choice
Here we go again Hello John. For this reason I suggested to work on a solution that allows to attach OSX folders as fully compatible disks. Timemachine could backup changes in the folder without compromising integrity. You told me that you're not able to do this for license problems (with Microsoft) but I believe that's not really true. I still believe that this would be a highly appreciated feature... uli
I answered in another thread, that you can do Time Machine inside virtual machine if you add folder /tmp/xxxx/C to Time Machine
Hello John. This does not work as you cannot restore from within /tmp folder. TimeMachine creates a private/tmp folder but it does not backup contents within this folder by defect and you cannot select folders in the TimeMachine configuration only exclude... (It's not a solution to play with the configuration files directly). If it was that easy you would have included this but you recommend not to backup with TimeMachine for obvious reasons. I don't want to run two or three backup solutions, I want to have one that does it all...
what is the meaning of this Better Time Machine integration i can not understand is this, ___________________ Great thing to know about busby seo test.
Other way to access is /Users/<username>/VM.pvm/Windows\ Disks/C - this is constant path You can also use third party plugins, to add custom path
