That still doesn't explain your experience - when I mentioned that to him he didn't really have any answers. He asked me to try using the Novell Client. He is doing some other stuff to see if he can figure out why putting the database on the NetWare server would cause such a slow-down.

Just to let you know that many people have experienced slow VSS when using a Netware server. If you do a search here, you should be able to find several threads about it.
