Archive of XP Guest

[GaryS69]

I want to archive off my Windows XP image but be able to restore if I discovered there was some functionality on XP that I needed. Can I simply back up the Windows XP.pvm file to an external device, delete it from Parallels and then at some point in the future just restore it back to my Mac use as documented in KB 114118? Many Thanks.

Hi GaryS69,

Yes, you can back up your Windows XP to an external hard drive as mentioned on the article: http://kb.parallels.com/114118

Also, to remove a Virtual Machine from Parallels Desktop for Mac, please follow the article below:
