Anyone know of a way to exclude files from iCloud backup?

[sniffs]

So for whatever reason, Parallels likes to install the .PVM file into \Documents.. if you move it out, iCloud still recognizes it as a document it wants to backup. Problem is, my .PVM is like 60GB..

It's the single biggest file that iCloud wants to back up and I dont want it to.. I can't keep my Macbook Pro Retina that has Parallels in sync with my iMac and Macbook Pro because of this.

Idea's to exclude it?

disable iCloud documents sync just put the files you want into iCloud as you need to

I'm surprised Parallels doesn't have an option to exclude the file, much as they do with Time Machine.

Have you tried contacting Parallels support to see what they say?
