The backup of small files is an age-old problem in general, regardless of
operating system: you'll find discussions of it in the List archives.
See topic      "Many small files" problem
in             http://people.bu.edu/rbs/ADSM.QuickFacts

There may also be specific issues relating to your Netware environment,
which some Netware customers may be able to address.
