Hey guys,
I'm totally confused with backups, even after searching around.
So, I've got a MBP 2011. Happy days.
I installed W7 via bootcamp, and then pointed Parallels 5 to it.
Is cloning the virtual machine via Parallels the same as backing it up within windows 7? I tried doing a test restore from image from within W7, and then Parallels freaked out, so it appears they have to move "in tandem".
If I clone via Parallels, will all my data be backed up? It says so, but I asking anyone who has actually done it, and RELIES on this system to protect their data? I'm going to try it before I accept it as reliable, but I want to ask first.
thanks!
