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.

Which types of backups does not set the archive bit?

Incremental backups and differential backups do not set the archive bit. Instead, they rely on the current state of the archive bit to determine which files have been changed since the last full backup. When an incremental backup is performed, it only backs up files that have changed since the last backup of any type, while a differential backup backs up all files that have changed since the last full backup, without altering the archive bit status of those files.

Secondary storage can be used to restore a backup of your files if you have to format. You can use it if you run out of room on your main hard drive.

Commonly used types of secondary storage are the USB drive and Floppy Disk, as referred to in the joke 'Can you turn my floppy disk into a hard drive?' which is impossible!
