Disabeling Spootliht on the backup drive doesn't work

In the FAQ article "How do I disable spotlight for my backup drive?", you write :

« As of v2.0, when used with Tiger 10.4.3 or later, it's quite easy: just add the volume to the Privacy tab of the Spotlight preference pane. We'll automatically ensure that that state is maintained, and all should work fine. »

I'm using SuperDuper! v2.5 under MacOS 10.5.5.

When I make a full backup of my internal drive on an external drive called "Backup 1", the external drive is in the privacy tab of Spootlight on the internal drive. But after the backup, the drive "Backup*1" doesn't contain in its privacy tab the name "Backup 1" so Spootlight is enabled and I have to add the drive manually to the list.

What can I do to add it automatically ?

Are you using the 'disable_spotlight' script? We do not touch the .Spotlight_V100 folder under v2.5 at all, so any settings in there (including the privacy state) should be maintained.

I'm not using the 'disable_spootlight' script.

I specify that Spootlight is disabled on the internal drive. But all my backup drives are listed in the privacy tab of Spootlight on this drive.

How do you disable on the internal? Adding to privacy (the right way)?

No, the internal drive is not in the privacy tab.

I've typed in the terminel : sudo mdutil -i off /volumes/InternalVolume

OK. Turn indexing on in Terminal and use Privacy instead... let's see if that works better for you.
