Can i prevent SuperDuper from cloning an application

[Walter]

How do i prevent SuperDuper from cloning an application that effectively changes the bootup image OR from copying a specific application ?

I use BootXChanger that will allow you to change the boot image and background colour on Mac OS X 10.4, 10.5 and 10.6

That is to say I do not want the boot up image to be the same in the cloned external FireWire drive as it is in the main drive that is being cloned.

I don't think this would be the application: it's modifying system files, and you'd have to have it modify those files on the backup rather than the source.
