Image Files - Safety

The Acronis image setting on the external drive I was advised to buy for
backup contains an image file of my computer while it was infected. It also
contains an Outlook .pst and BCM file I need to retrieve. That image file
was scanned by the mechanic who put it there and scanned twice by me with
NOD32. But the file has never been restored to a condition that will permit
me to remove selected files. I'm about to buy Acronis True Image 9.0 Home
just for that purpose (it was created with True Image). I don't know what to
expect when I convert or restore that file. I obviously don't what it
restored in the true sense of the word because the machine it's on has been
reformatted, most of the programs and user files reinstalled, and is running
fine.
Q1) I'd appreciate a comment about what to expect when this file is
converted. I want to make sure it stays on that external drive and doesn't
try to replace what's there now. Of course, I'll read the instructions when
I download the program this morning but I'd like to get a thumbnail sketch
of what to expect from someone who has had experience in this area.
Q2) Can I feel assured - since the image file has been scanned so often,
that it's safe to copy user files from?
