Why would the restore fail? It is just info on the HD.

If you use Superduper, would it not simply back up the whole HD
and the windows stuff would simply be part of the HD data? W are
talking the all-on-one-volume option for win on a Mac.

nope. there's winclone if you want to clone the windows partition on a
mac.

But we are not talking partitions? After the OP said "If you
don't partition" the scene is no partitions.

i misread it since the first reply was to partition it. if it's not
partitioned, the guest os is just a file and copied like any other
file. it's also a good idea to take at least one snapshot (at least in
vmware, but i would assume parallels is the same) to minimize the
impact on backups.
