"I am kind of confused? I am not an welll knowladged on virus and backup utilities. Is it because your later partition is smaller than the backed up data (not the backup partition size), so, you can't use DVD recover?"
My error was to try to begin with the first volume and not the last. So recovery did not recognize it as a volid disk. Error messages seem to be sparse and misleading.

"What's the requirement to recover backedup partition or backedup drive? The destination partition has to be bigger than the Backedup Data or the Backedup Partition Size?"
Never having done one, I dont know. I amgine you ahve to have a partition at least the size of the data to be recovered.

"And does this virus ever stop me from recover Full Backedup DVDs? Like totally destroied partitions so my destination partition is no longer allocable."
Not this virus, It hasn't been programmed to do that. But viruses can damage partition tables etc. But I use scsi disks which can be low level formatted and everything erased. So there is no risk of permanent damage although there is the isk of dataloss.
