Manish: Please post in the correct forum ; this is a Linux Security forum my guess is that the other forums will help you better...search for the topic you want in this forum itself...its a common problem and I'm sure you'll find many threads explaining the same.

Cheers

Depends on the filesystem type you use for your Linux partitions (like ext3 which is commonly used these days). First you get a driver of some kind (I know there is a driver that lets you mount linux ext partitions on Windows), to get the partitions visible. Then just use some backup program or tool to back the data up; if you can't figure anything else out, just copy the data in binary mode, bit by bit.

I'd still suggest using a Linux or Unix of some kind for this; that way you could easily use some tools like cpio or dd, depending on how you want to make the backup, which would provide you a very easy and efficient way of backing data up. Windows just can't do the job as easily, imo.
