Is it possible to restore a file with a virus?


Recommended Posts

I have a hypothetical question:

 

Say you start a backup of a computer in January. You back up a file which has a virus in it which is *not* (at that time) detected by current anti-virus software.

 

The user then requests a restore of the file a month later -- when the anti-virus software would detect the virus.

 

My question: Would the restore of the file take place? Or would the restore be interrupted by the anti-virus software?

 

Just curious...
