Will Time Machine backup/Parrellels Desktop/Windows side
I'm thinking of moving to an iMac for my next computer, probably in the next 6 months or so, but I have a some questions I wondered if you might be able to help me with.
I'm wanting to use Time Machine as its basically going to do its job with no input from me (once I've switched it on and selected the drive to use for backups). I'm planning on getting Parrallels Desktop and installing Windows. Now I know Time Machine takes backups every hour. But I was wondering if it will also backup not only the Mac side but the Parrallels Desktop (Windows side) too.
For example, if I install a program on the Mac side, edit a file, delete a file etc, Time Machine will backup the changes on its next backup. If I done the same while running Windows, i.e install a program on the Windows side, edit a file, delete a file etc, does Time Machine backup these changes for the Parrallels Desktop (Windows side) too?
Basically in a worst case scenario if my iMac had got messed up and would not boot up.How do I go about getting not only the Mac side restored to an earlier and working state, but the Windows side too. It's just I know that at some point in time I would need to do this has I've needed to do it in Windows several times in the last 5 years with Acronis True Image.
Thanks in advance.
