Hi asredanesh,

Hard disk backup and disk-based backup is the same solution. On both you would be backing up to a hard drive or series of hard drives. If I am misunderstanding your question can you elaborate more?

You also have some virtual tape solutions that are disk based...

You also can use some "raw" disk space as a backup medium, like the maglibs in Commvault Simpana.

Maybe that's the difference you are looking for.
