I use Parallels 11 on a 2013 iMac running El Capitan with Windows 7. I'm learning about the features of both the Mac and Parallels. My question is, "is there a folder/location on the Mac side to find files created in the Windows environment?" Parallels takes a daily snapshot, but I have no idea how to find/use the snapshot or if my files in Windows are being backed up in Time Machine. I'm concerned that files created in Windows are not being backed up and not sure how to do so, any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanking you in advance for your time and assistance.

Hello GaryB4, by default all virtual machines are stored in /Documents/Parallels or in /Users/Shared/Parallels folders. Another simple way to find your virtual machine is to search for .pvm in Finder using Spotlight search. A snapshot is a saved state of the virtual machine. Snapshots can be created manually or automatically when the virtual machine is running. Please check out this article for more information about Snapshot and it's location.
