Here's my views ...
1) Parallels is considerably more convenient as it doesn't require a
reboot to run Windows applications.
2) Parallels doesn't need the hard drive partitioned. If you go with
Boot Camp, it does this without affecting your existing data.
3) I don't use online backup as I don't (yet) trust it will be there
when I need it. Regardless, my capacity is too large anyway and the
process would end up being far too slow.

Hi Smuggers
I want to be able to use a couple of Windows-only applications on my new iMac
(e.g,. Adobe LifeCycle). I'm not sure whether to use Boot Camp or Parallels.
1) Any views on which you would choose (apart from cost) would be welcome.
2) As you know, when I install Boot Camp or Parallels, I will need to partition
my hard disk. Can this be done without effecting the programs and data that's
already on the hard disk?
3) Slightly differently, which online backup company's do members recommend (I
don't have a need for great capacities).
Many thanks
Derek
