Parallels Desktop 20 for Mac on a 2018 Macbook Pro Both Monterey and Sequoia VM's Any time I try to mount a drive that contains a Time Machine backup on it within my macOS VM I am getting the following error I've attached. I've turned Time Machine to manual on the host system. I've tried...

Are Parallels and my Windows 11 VM backed up to Time Machine? If so where in Time Machine are they located?

I have a lot of these messages in my Mac's log file, related to Parallels. "Windows 11 Parallels M3 Max" is the name of my Windows 11 VM. 24-06-01 15:30:26.583 TimeMach Failed to read capabilities for '/Volumes/[C] Windows 11 Parallels M3 Max.hidden', error: Operation not permitted I conferred...

Hello everyone! I wonder, what I am doing wrong: Since I am using Parallels Desktop, every Time Machine backup takes ages as around 8GB are written on the backup HD every time. I read in the knowledge base: "Parallels Desktop for Mac includes improved integration with Time Machine. When your...

I know how to add folders for Time Machine to exclude, but am just not sure which folders to include here. Thanks!

My iMac died today so I have no way to access it. I have a current Time Machine backup on my Synology NAS, well, at least the latest time stamp is from today so I hope the backup completed before the machine died. I have ordered a new iMac and it appears that restoring from the Time Machine...

A few weeks ago I asked Time Machine to restore my iMac to its state a week earlier. (Restart, cmd-R, restart from Time Machine backup.) Everything appeared to come back OK except when I tried to start Windows it went to "Preparing Automatic Repair". After several minutes, it decided it wasn't...

Software: Parallels 15 Home Edition and the latest MacOS (10.15.3) I have SmartGuard enabled and Optimize for Time Machine checked on a Windows 10 VM. Every change to the system, even simply booting then immediately shutting down, results in a large backup (10-12GB) Am I doing something wrong...

Im setting up a mac os guest vm and have installed the guest os and parallels tools. I can see the shared drives folder. I would like to be able to access the time machine backup and restore it to the guest os vm. It appears there is not a way to mount the drive in a way that migration assistant...

I recently tried to clean up my venerable old Windows 7 pvm but found that many of the uninstall files required were just not there or not functional any more. So I decided to create a nice fresh install of 7, and then added only 4 or 5 extra programs that I needed. Several weeks later, on...

Yesterday Time Machine saved my life once again even though i strongly suspect it also was the culprit of the crash. I mean, what happens when Time Machine backs up my pvm file while working in Windows...? The last six months i've had the "APFS fsroot tree is invalid" problem twice and the pvm...

I am using Time Machine to backup all of my MAC/Windows files. It works fine except that time machine won't backup my Windows virtual drives. Is there anyway to get Time Machine to recognize and backup these virtual drives?

Hello everyone, When I am working on Windows guest with time machine running the backup disk will fill up pretty quickly. I have the Smart Guard option with Time Machine optimisation activated, so it helps a bit, but I wanted to know if it is possible to force Time Machine to backup only the...

I'm using Parallels Desktop 13 on Sierra. I encrypted an Ubuntu guest OS disk using Parallels' encryption feature so I can avoid having the guest perform encryption itself, and I use Time Machine on my host to make backups of the guest. Every time a backup is made, if I've made changes inside...
