Q: Time Machine Problem
I have a very large (200gb) Parallels Window VM (.pvm) file that fails to restore. Finder says "some data could not be read or written" after about 60gb. It doesn't matter which backup date I try to restore from. I would really appreciate any suggestions on how to get around this.
The reason i need to restore is my Windows 10 VM system files are corrupt and the usual tools for an in place repair don't work.
iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2012), OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

Time Machine will restore Parallels however it will not restore any MS Windows software or MS Windows. Time Machine is used to backup and restore OS X related info. Because Parallels is a OS X app it will backup and restore, however Windows is a MS produce. You should search for a backup solution for your MS Windows related info.
