    Are you using an image file or your bootcamp partition? If the former, just find the image file Parallels is using and duplicate/copy it to your backup drive. If the latter, use Winclone:

    Yeah, it's an image so.

    When you set up your virtual machine it would have asked you where to save the image. Documents folder usually. Or look in your virtual machines settings. It should show the file location there.

    It's a while since I used Parallels though.
