Is there a way to perform a backup of a database, but omit a table?

[sonname]

I have a database that has a large table that contains BLOB's and I want to restore that database on another machine regularly, but I don't need that particular table, is there a way to specify that you don't want that table backed up, this way the restore will be so much faster? If so where is this option available? Thanks

The only way that I'm familiar with is to move the table to a different filegroup. You would then have two filegroups, and you could back up the filegroup without the blobs only. Info on partial backups is available on MSDN:
