In this case, independent software developer, BriteMac, created a third party tool that allows you to better manage your Parallels virtual machines.The tool is called VM2Go v1.2. One of its coolest features is the ability to transfer your virtual machine from your Macintosh computer to an Apple iPod or other portable USB type device and then actually run the virtual machine from that device – allowing you to use the VM on the go. But the utility isn’t a one trick pony. It adds a number of other useful features, such as: Easy transfer of a virtual machine to your Apple iPod or other removable media device such as a USB thumb drive or external hard disk. Just click and VM2Go figures out what files need to be moved – fixing the configuration of the virtual machine so that the machine will run from the device. VM2Go features a backup capability so you can copy your virtual machine to a DVD. Most people like to have a clean version of Windows around that has nothing installed. Using the DVD backup feature you can create virtual machines with Parallels Desktop, install Windows and backup the machine to DVD. You can also easily restore it using either the Finder or the restore feature within the software. Do you have multiple virtual machines on your Mac? VM2Go using Apple’s Spotlight technology will locate them no matter where they are on your system. VM2Go does a virtual machine analysis. You can click on each one and see the details of each machine. Further, VM2Go will analyze your virtual machine and tell you if any of the critical files are missing. You can also delete these machines in the utility tab. Clicking delete – while permanent – will delete the various files associated with the virtual machine including the desktop alias should it be present. You can also launch your virtual machine from within VM2Go. You simply click the machine and click Start. Parallels Desktop will be loaded and the virtual machine you selected will be launched.You can download and try the software, here. However, as of this writing, I was unable to locate where the full version of the product was being made available for purchase. Software Development
