Yes, as the VM is located inside your Home directory (Macintosh HD / Users / YOU /) and is just a file like any other for CCC.
Time Machine is awesome and comes free with your mac! Just grab a drive that has enough to back up your system, plug it in and start backing up!Frist of all, I just want to say thank you all for all the help that I got so far to get my new macbook air to function the way I want. Since I'm still a rookie in mac os, I need to create an image of my air just in case it crashes and I need to restore it. Beside time machine, what do you guys recommend that I use?
CCC can back up the contents of the Boot Camp partition, but it cannot make a bootable clone of the partition.
Because as far as I have experienced, CCC doesn't backup from NTFS or FAT32 sources, though it can clone to an exFAT volume.
I'm just going by this: Can CCC back up my BootCamp (Windows) partition?
This may also help: Backing up to/from network volumes and other non-HFS volumes
Ah, thanks. I guess the BC partition is always a special place for elves and Mac OS X software.
It can backup/restore user files successfully. It just can't be used to restore the Windows OS.
Yeah, but the point of cloning is to have a complete, bootable backup - CCC can't do that with BC.
I agree. I guess I missed where the OP expressed a requirement that the backup be bootable.
