I'm new to Mac family.
I brought new MacBook Pro 2011 model with 128GB of SSD only. I would like setup Windows 7 on it, but only limited space available.
I'm planning to buy an external USB based (Kingston Hyper Max USB SSD - 64GB) to setup Windows 7 on it via BootCamp or Parallels. Can I do it in this way? Is Mac provides any way to boot from USB drivers?
Any further help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have a problem with Parallels Desktop (8 and 9). A year ago, I was able to connect external drives via USB to my virtual machine (Windows) and see it as a virtual drive on my Mac Desktop.

- A parallels virtual machine file (.pvm) can be run from an external drive. As a matter of fact, if you have a.pvm, you can drag and drop it to your external drive and then just double click on it to run it.
- Parallels also supports all types of external devices connected to your Mac so you can connect a USB, Firewire or Thunderbolt device and access it within Windows. Parallels also has the advantage that you can run Windows and macOS at the same time whereas with Boot Camp, you can only run one at a time.

I've been reading up on some of the formatting options for the drive in order for Mac and Windows to both be able to read and write to it.

Hi,
Environment is MacBook Pro running Mojave and using ATI for Mac 2019 (build 23.3.14170).
I am running Parallels VM's with some VM's located on internal storage and some on a Samsung T5 external SSD.
I have two ATI backup jobs, one for the internal SSD and one for the external T5. Both jobs are backing up to a NAS.
The backup file on the NAS for the internal SSD job works as expected and grows in size at a slow to moderate rate.

The backup file on the NAS for the Samsung T5 job grows in size by the same amount each time as the used space on my Samsung T5, i.e. around 800GB per backup, which is not sustainable.
I can only assume that Acronis is not able to do a 'changes-only' backup for the VM's on my external SSD.
Any ideas please?

Hi jg77,

Acronis True Image backs up the whole file of a virtual machine every time the file is considered as changed, because we protect this file as a part of a Mac backup. If an Agent could be installed onto the guest OS of a PD machine, we would be able to back up changes in the system.
