Backup BootCamp partitions before installing

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

This is always good advice, but in this case it seemed to be essential. My first attempt at installing this failed. Windows got into an infinite loop due to a crash during the boot cycle.

So I went to a backup I had with WinClone, restored it, launched BootCamp, got -everything- up to date, and then relaunched Parallels. This time the update worked as expected.
