Back up

Hello,

How do I make a backup of parallels Windows installtion and all of the software and settings that I've done within that evironment?

When I juse my backup software, it fails.

Thanks!

Hello,

you can either create a snapshot (Parallels Desktop menu->Actions->Create Snapshot) or just copy a VM from Mac.

Thank you for the reply.

Can you tell me where the documentation is for the option "just copy a VM from Mac"?

Thank you again.

Eric

 

Wait... snapshot is NOT an option for backup since I could not restore everything from scratch should I have to.

 

I meant just copying the whole VM folder.
And I didn't quite understood why you think snapshot won't do for a backup.

Best regards,
Alicia.

 

Can you send me the link for the documentation on how to create a backup using snapshot?

 

Snapshot guide.

Are you sure I understood you correctly and snapshot is the thing you want to do?

Best regards,
Alicia.
