I am running Parallels with a Bootcamp NTFS partition on a 15" MBPro. I am running Quickbook on XP with the data file in My Documents folder on the XP side. I have share Windows to Mac and share Mac home folder to Windows turned on. I am trying to use Apple Backup to back up my data folders on XP to my iMac account (or anywhere else for that matter!). I can pick the folder to back up but as soon as I try to back up, a yellow triangle shows up next the to folder with an error saying some items are not available. I can drag and drop the folders to my Mac partition without problem. It doesn't seem to matter whether Parallels is running or not. Thanks. Mike
