Yes, boot from a system rescue disk and copy the files off. I use System Rescue, it's not the easiest program to use but is very powerful http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page

Be certain to scan the saved files for any possible remnant of the culprit virus! It's no fun to simply re-infect your newly cleaned system.
