Parallels Desktop 13.2.0 Pro Edition, MacOS Sierra 10.12.6, 2 VMs Win 8.1, 1 VM Win XP Hi everybody, not being pleased with the results of the "SmartGuard" option I opted to NOT to back up the VMs with Time Machine at all. Instead I keep all my documents outside the VMs and zip the entire .PVM-folders from time to time. That has worked fine, until today. Today the backup has taken a very long time and the size suggested that all my 3 VMs have been included today. I have checked the settings of Parallels, the check marks to NOT back up the VMs in Time Machine are still there. Then I have checked the content of Time Machine and indeed Time Machine has backed up the VMs today, for the very first time. WTH is going on here? Best regards Rainer
