    Has anyone found a workable solution to including your Parallels VM in your Time Machine backup without changes to the single huge pvm file causing each incremental backup to be enormous?

    If I include it each backup takes forever to run, it's not really practical

    Hi GarryS2,
    Time Machine is backing up only the last snapshot, but not the whole Virtual Machine. This allows you to reduce the amount of data that Time Machine backs up, to reduce the time Time Machine spends backing up the virtual hard disk(s).
