External backup recommendations needed

I'm in the market for a 1 to 2 TB hard drive with easy to use backup and retrieval software. Probably need one that creates an image.

When attached I like my back up drive to be as readable and accessible as my computer drive.

And it needs to be usable on both a Mac and a PC, notjust one, or the other like my previous backup drive.

Small and portable would be nice, but not necessary.

Question ... I've heard of incremental backup for years but would like to know what exactly this means. If I do a full backup to my external drive and then delete some files on my computer drive, will the deleted files that were previously on the backup drive disappear with the next incremental?

Anyone know of any good deals from 'Deal of the Day' type offers or sites?
