I do recommend adding backup drive to the Spotlight privacy tab.
You can't make backup on connect "conditional" on a weekday: the time-based and connect-based options are entirely separate.

Thank you for your speedy reply!
With regards to rebuilding the "Launch Services" database I just want to see if I understand how this works. Say I connect an empty external drive and run a full backup. Once complete I guess this is when Mac OS X starts to create the app duplicate entries. If I disconnect the drive and reboot will this remove the duplicate entries? Basically, will I need to rebuild the LS database after every successive smart update?
Ah, so even if I schedule a backup to start say Monday 10pm and when the drive is connected, you are saying that even if I connect on a Tuesday a backup will take place? Sorry if I've misunderstood.
Thanks
