superduper and smart-sync problem

I am using "superduper" for years to make a 1:1 backup of my macbookpro's SSD. It's in addition to TimeMachine and allows me to work (nearly) without interruption if the computer or it's drive fails....

That is the problem. How do I set up an exclusion so that SuperDuper doesn't try to back up my Dropbox folder with most of the files online only. I can no longer use SuperDuper because of this, as it hangs up when it gets to the Dropbox folder. I want to exempt just that folder. where is this link to how to set up a script for this?

Hi there rksinc, since you’re trying to exclude the Dropbox folder from a third party app, I’d recommend contacting them for more info. 
 
Let me know how it goes!
