Thread needs solution

I use an iMac and OSX 10.10. I use the program Parallels to create a virtual disc with Windows 7.

I purchased Acronis True Image 2015 for MAC and PC.

I subsequently went to “my account” on the Acronis site and saw three programs available for download. One of these I had (the MAC and PC version). They were available so I downloaded the PC version and the Universal recover program.

I have tried, without success, to find a simple minded instruction sheet on how to install and use the program. I have questions that remain unanswered.

If I run the MAC and PC program does it back up the virtual disc?

Did I need to download the PC version? Do I need to run it to backup the virtual disk. If not, should I uninstall the PC version of the program?

Can I run the recover program without first cleaning the hard drive of existing files?

Since your host OS is OSX, use the Mac version of Acronis to backup your entire computer. This will include the files necessary for the virtual machines to run, and the virtual machines configurations.
