pls tell some idea to take backup of virus infeced hard disk
ISO file cannot be infected by virus
Yes, running a virus-infected file from a CD can potentially infect the hard disk. If the file executes and has the capability to exploit vulnerabilities in the operating system or other software, it can install malicious code on the hard drive. Additionally, the virus might spread to other files and systems connected to the infected machine. To avoid this risk, it's essential to use updated antivirus software and avoid executing untrusted files.
The abbreviation D2D means Disk to disk backup. It is computer lingo. It is basically importing data from a hard disk to any other type of disk. The disk it is copied to is called a backup disk.
No, Not unless it was a "disk image"backup.
A backup disk is a place to store important information that may be in danger of getting wiped from a computer hard drive in the event of a virus attack or an accident. With the innovation of online storage, backup disks are becoming obsolete.
No. If the hard disk crashes you will lose both the original and backup data. It is best to backup to separate disk for redundancy purposes.
Stealth viruses are designed to hide on disks to avoid being detected by virus scanners. You must block stealth viruses from hiding, so your scanner can find and remove them.Steps to remove stealth virusesUpdate your anti-virus software.Save a copy of your virus scanner onto a clean floppy disk. (You might need this backup file if the scanner on your hard drive is infected.)Insert the floppy disk into the drive in a locked position; this should block a virus from hiding within the floppy drive.Run your anti-virus software. If the clean, locked floppy is in the drive, you should be able to detect and remove a stealth virus.Check if your scanner program is infected. And if it is, use the backup program on the floppy to scan for viruses.Shut down your computer to clear the memory, and then reboot. Now that the virus is out of the memory, your computer should be safe.
If by disk based backup one means making a back up into a CD or DVD, then the advantage would be that even if the hard drive fails, one can still restore the backup version from the disk.

A backup utility allows you to copy selected files or an entire hard disk to another storage medium

You can check your hard disk's memory and search string by string for the virus, or if you don't want to spend that time, format it. Although the latter will delete EVERYTHING.
