    Hi,
    Since upgrading to Parallels 13 pro, I've noticed that all my VMs disk images are getting their modified timestamp changed regularly even though the VMs are never started manually or automatically.

    I also see log entries like these below in statistic.log

    2017-12-05 22:25:13 DspStat:0:VMS_STOPPED
    2017-12-05 22:25:13 DspStat:0:VMS_SNAPSHOTING
    2017-12-05 22:25:13 DspStat:0:VMS_STOPPING
    2017-12-05 22:47:39 DspStat:0:VMS_STOPPED
    2017-12-05 22:47:39 DspStat:0:VMS_DELETING_STATE
    2017-12-05 22:47:39 DspStat:0:VMS_STOPPING
    2017-12-08 12:21:57 DspStat:0:VMS_STOPPED
    2017-12-08 12:21:57 DspStat:0:VMS_SNAPSHOTING
    2017-12-08 12:21:57 DspStat:0:VMS_STOPPING
    2017-12-08 12:43:07 DspStat:0:VMS_STOPPED
    2017-12-08 12:43:07 DspStat:0:VMS_DELETING_STATE
    2017-12-08 12:43:07 DspStat:0:VMS_STOPPING

    The problem with this, is that I end up backup all these changes. Change to the log files are neither here not there, but re-backing up an entire disk image when I haven't used any VMs is annoying.

    Whilst I could exclude the VMs entirely form automated backup, I didn't have this problem with version 12 of the software.
    Something new in version 13 is opening up and modifying each VM automatically, and I'd like to disable this.

    Hi @JohnathanL, thanks for sharing the Problem Report ID, we see that you have multiple virtual machines. Are you having such issues with OpenVPN Access Server? Or it occurs on all of the virtual machines
