The problem with using Time Machine is that after the initial
backup, TM will backup the entire VNware folder again which, in my case
is over 50 gigs. Will not take long to choke the drive that TM uses.
My solution was to exclude that folder in TM. I use Carbon Copy
Cloner and created a new task for the VMware folder only and run it
weekly. It will replace the last backup with the current one.

yes, it will back up VMware as well. Basically the TimeMachine backup
performs a whole system backup, and Fusion uses what’s known as VMware
bundle file to store package of Windows files, which is by default
stored in /users/docuements/VMware folder. If you got a big enough hard
drive space you can also back that file up for any other use.

Hello all:
finally, I got my MacBook pro with El capitan and windows 7 in VMware
fusion.
now I need to be sure that I can reinstall my windows any time I will
need to do so, because I depend on backups all my life.
if I will use the time machine, will it back up the VMware? and
windows or what?
excuse me but am very very new on the mac world.
