Looking through the preferences for Spotlight though I found a way to tell it not to index, or to hide the index, of a file, folder or drive under the Privacy tab (see picture). I just dragged the Backup drive into this area and now when I do a Spotlight search no more duplicates. Those Apple guys think of everything!

When you unplug the drive and later plug it back it, does it attempt to reindex?
No, it remembers the drive is excluded and continues to not show it in the indexed results.
