1) there was already a virus infecting the system when you made the back up
2) Storage of backup poorly done (CDs were scratched or hard drives / memory sicks exposed to magnetism)

When you dont have the tools, applications, or knowledge on how to use them to make a restoration; or an operating system
or place to restore your backups to. Other than that, the data you
have backed up might be outdated or unuseable for your purpose. A better question might be: How to make and restore
critical backups?

If you install proper backup software as for example True Image and you system isn't infected you'll be able to restore your data.
