The reason is that Parallels Desktop does not support snapshotting of Windows running from Boot Camp: RecoveryĪlthough it is not possible to backup just the Boot Camp disk volume, it is possible to mark only Boot Camp for restoration.

Otherwise the backup may fail or will include Boot Camp in an inconsistent, unbootable state. If you use Parallels Desktop software to run Windows from Boot Camp, you need to shut down the corresponding Windows virtual machine before taking the backup with Acronis. If you use third-party drivers to write to the NTFS file system, stable operation of such drivers is not guaranteed when a backup is in progress. The backup will contain all the data stored on the drive, including the Boot Camp partition. You need to back up the hard drive where Boot Camp is installed by using Entire Mac or My Disks backup source. Bootability of both operating systems will be kept. If you have Boot Camp installed on your hard drive to use Windows in addition to MacOS, you can back up and recover the entire disk, including Boot Camp.
