Backup using Time Machine

[myfirstnamem]

I have an external USB hard drive that I was backing up before I bought Parallels. It has files on it but plenty of spare room.

I'm using Boot Camp and the latest version of Parallel and latest version of MacOSX.

1) Can I use MacOSX Time Machine to backup Parallels files?

2) What if I only want to backup my Windows data files only, not the entire Parallels partition?
