It means to create an iso of the software (use winISO) or game and use a virtual drive eg use daemon tools to mount the iso/image

*Actually, the above is regarding creating the iso image or "drive" if the Iso is OF a drive. Mounting one is a different thing altogether. To mount it is to "load" it basically, but due to what it is, it is called "mounting" it. An Iso can be of a whole PC operating system, or even software or a game. Daemon Tools is no longer. A program called VirtualBox is great. I'm not sure you'd call an Iso of a game a "drive". Best check that out carefully! But you can also mount an Iso image that isn't of a drive. Words, words, words! Ug!

Making and using Iso images is a very specialized and potentially harmful thing! If you don't know exactly what you're doing you'd best study it a LOT! Which is what I'm doing that I ended up finding this post!

***Someone who really knows needs to this in detail to help us all avoid huge problems. :)

What does it mean to do a full backup?

A full backup will make a replica of every file currently on the system and store it, usually in a compressed file, for later use if there is a problem. A full backup takes no account of changes made to files since the last backup - it simply copies everything. Therefore it is sensible to only carry out a partial backup if you are short of time or hard drive space.

Does backups stand in the PC after format?

I am guessing you mean "Do backups stay in the PC after Format?" The answer is No, if you store the backups of the files on the same hard drive you are formatting. Its not technically a backup then anyway. To make a proper backup, you need to copy your files to a USB key, burn them to a CD or DVD, or copy them to another computer or hard drive.
