windows backup - parallels

[rcassar]

I am running Windows XP using Parallels on my Mac. Most of the software's I use run on windows. I am thinking of buying Norton Ghost to backup my windows data. Will it work? I searched on google a lot to make sure Norton Ghost works inside parallels and could not find anything.

Thanks

Russ

You could just use Parallels in-built snapshots feature, as Norton is known to fox up your system anyway.

Or you could make copies of the VM file(s) located in Macintosh HD / Users / YOU / Documents / Virtual Machines.

This is what I do and it works great.

Also and easy way to have a clean copy that you experiment when installing new software. Very convenient.

To add, if someone wants to back up their BootCamp partition, WinClone works great.
