"Do not back up with time machine" setting problem

Every time, I check the "Do not back up with time machine" setting (General tab of the VM's settings), as soon as I quit and start Parallels 4.0 again, it is unchecked... I do not want my VM being backed up.

I simply check that "Check Box" and click OK, then I quit Parallels.

Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

Kind Regards

Is the virtual machine running/suspended/stopped at that moment?

In any case I would suggest to completely shut down the virtual machine before applying configuration changes.

Hi, no the VM was completely shut down, not suspended, stopped, paused, nor running.

I tried it this morning again, I start my computer, click the Parallels 4.0 icon in the Dock, it opens my Windows XP window automatically (but it doesn't turn it on automatically), I click Configure -> General tab, I check the "Do not backup with time machine" check box, I click OK, it says it's updating virtual machine to the left of the cancel button, it closes, I go (in the top menu) Parallels Desktop -> Quit Parallels Desktop, it shuts down, I open it again, and voila, the check box is unchecked again...

Let me know if you need to know anything else.

Confirmed, Stop was ticked, the VM was not on, I did it again, it still won't work (even with my Ext. backup drive ejected, and turned off)

This is unusual, I don't know why it's doing this, it wasn't always,
It seems like the Do not backup from TC setting isn't being saved when I quit the program.

I just thought of something, I can not edit my TC without putting the password, perhaps it's encountering an error regarding adding that location to the TC to not backup from there...

I will see if I can test this.
