Q: Time Machine - Bootcamp and Virtualized operating systems?
Just for my curiosity and knowledge, from a Software and Hardware stand point prospective, is the Time Machine capable to back up my personal Documents and Files located in my Windows Bootcamp Partition and eventually also my Document and Files located in my Virtualized Operating Systems (using Parallels for example) that I create on my MAC side?
Thank you so much and have a wonderful day.
iMac (27-inch, Late 2013), OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

As far as Parallels goes, this link will explain how to do that with Time Machine. This link will explain how Parallel's "Optimize for Time Machine" feature actually works, As you can see, while your automatic Time Machine backup process is frequent, what gets backed up isn't.
I don't use BootCamp but check out Post #12 in this link, which suggests how it might be done.
