Of course, if you stored your Parallels image in a file on your regular HFS+ volume, rather than as its own partition, it could be copied and used either way.

I was thinking you could just drag and drop the XP volume inside the bootable backup volume by connecting the bootable backup via USB (not booting into it, but booting into the regular OSX on the machine). In this way the XP partition is not being used, so shouldn't it copy flawlessly onto the USB drive and be accessible through Parallels?
