I try to duplicate a tables of certain columns by using

CREATE TABLE backup_table AS SELECT * FROM unit_11 WHERE status = 1;

I realize the above command will duplicate content of table unit_11 to 
backup_table. However, the index is not being carried over. Hence, I change my 
command to

create table backup_table ( like unit_11 INCLUDING DEFAULTS INCLUDING 
CONSTRAINTS INCLUDING INDEXES );
INSERT INTO backup_table SELECT * FROM unit_11 WHERE status = 1;

It works fine with the following output


Table unit_11
=============
unit_id [PK]    fk_lot_id       status          value
1               11              1               100
2               11              1               101
3               11              0               102


Table backup_table
==================
unit_id [PK]    fk_lot_id       status          value
1               11              1               100
2               11              1               101

However, this is not what I want. I wish to have all columns being duplicated 
over except for column "fk_lot_id", where I would like to define my own 
"fk_lot_id". My final wished table is as follow.


Table backup_table
==================
unit_id [PK]    fk_lot_id       status          value
1               99              1               100
2               99              1               101

May I know how I can achieve these by using combination of SQL command?

Thanks!

Thanks and Regards
