If I exclude the file: MacHD>User>FH>Documents>Parallels>Windows 7.pvm from the backup made by Time Machine, do MS Word and Excel files and Outlook database get backed up? I have configured P8 to Share Mac user folder w/Windows and to Map Mac Volumes to Windows.

The only files I want to back up are my music/photo files, all PDFs, all Excel, Word and Powerpoint files and all the info within Outlook 2010. If I have all the disks (software), do I really need to back up my applications that came with OS Mountain Lion or my Windows OS and MS Office applications? I most concerned about data, not settings etc.

I'm a bit confused. Any thought would be terrific.
