Parallels Desktop 13 & Acronis True Image 2018

Thread needs solution

Hi,

 

I have both Parallels Desktop 13 & Acronis True Image 2018 and wanted to understand something

In my weekly backups can I include Virtual Machine in the backup process or is it useless? I just don't understand how Acronis True Image 2018 can detect the changes made inside a VM... For example if I installed a new software in a VM that is Windows 10. Will Acronis True Image 2018 detect the changes and backup the most up to date VM?

Many thanks,

 

Trevor

Hello Trevor,

It is better to back up the VM in an Entire Mac backup.

But if you back it up file level, the changes should be detected as these VMs are sets of files which change with you modifications.

Could you let me know how you usually back up the data? Do you do Entire? Or separate files?
