When updating a backup folder on an external hard drive in XP will files deleted in the source folder on my hard drive also be deleted in the destination folder on the external drive?
If you rewrite your backup files. Then, yes your backup files will be rewrited (they might be the same or they can be different). The best way is to backup your files in another folder. If you are using standard window backup procedure your source files are safe because the windows backup utility just copies your files, but doesn't remove them. If you are using utility which wasn't a standard part of windows then you have to check settings very carefully. Some backup utilities do remove files instead of coping them.
What is the program file name of the windows backup utility?
I THINK.... That there is no .exe for it but just a lot of separate files making the utility up in this file locationVista: C:\Windows\winsxs\BackupCorrect me if I am wrong...Actually the correct answer to what is the program file name of the windows backup utility depends on what Windows OS, you are using. If it's Vista, then it's the Backup and Restore Center which handles all files that can be backed up. For Windows 2000/XP, then its a program file called Ntbackup.exe. From there you just click Start, then All Programs, then go to Accessories, then go to System Tools, and then click Backup. Hope this is the information you're looking for.JRay25

What is data backup?
Data backup is the process of backing up the files on your computer in case your PC crashes or you get a computer virus. There are several different types of backup. Using a backup software solution like NovaBACKUP will allow you to back up your files, photos, music, and email to a local or online location. You can also use the copy files function to create a backup copy of your files in their native file format. You can also create a Disaster Recovery backup which allows you to recover your entire system, including files, applications, settings and your operating system. Most people will create a backup plan that includes both full and incremental backups to ensure that as new files are created or saved their data is protected without having to do a full backup every time (which saves time and space).

Backup memory is a separate file that stores a duplicate copy of all of your data. This is so if a system crashes, you can access the files again using the backup memory files.
What software should you use to backup files?
Windows has a "Backup and Restore Center" found in the Control Panel. It is the easiest tool that costs nothing and is user friendly and effective. I recommend using an external media storage device or storing back-up files on flash media (solid state memory.)
