Ignoring page numbers in backup slides

latex beamer

I am using the beamer document class in latex to make a presentation. I will have a number of back up slides which are there for offline viewing, reference etc. Beamer has a feature that shows the progress through the presentation as {page#}/{total pages} on each slide. I would really like it if {total pages} was equivalent to my total number of pages w/out counting the back up slides (I don't want to discourage my audience on the first page!). Does anyone know how this can be done?

This can now be achieved with the following option on all "backup" slides:

\begin{frame}[noframenumbering]{My Title}
\end{frame}

This will cause the final number (e.g. 25/25) to be displayed on such pages.

As always, a matter of taste.
