Spotlight and Superduper
 
I have read that Superduper will not enable spotlight indexing for a volume if it is listed in Spotlight Privacy preference pane. However, I cannot add my backup drive to the preference pane, by dragging or adding it manually.
How can I stop the volume indexing being enabled by superduper?

Try erasing the volume with Disk Utility. Restart, then add it into the Privacy tab.

Thanks very much. Works now.
Superduper is great software. I personally would like to see a 'test' backup option - where superduper just analyses the differences on both drives and reports them. This would have helped me yesterday when I installed stuffit and found it very difficult to remove as it spread files all over the hard drive, yet I didn't want to restore from the backup.

Very helpful. Should be on page 1 of the users guide!

My backup drive is suddenly not appearing in the Privacy tab anymore. Ay, ay, ay. Spotlight on a duplicate backup drive is kind of redonculous....

Mine has disappeared from the privacy tab too, however spotlight still doesn't index it so I'm happy.
