Newbee -
Can you be a bit more specific with the question ?
SMO, VSC, SMSQL, etc all have a given ammount of time to execute.
The time taken to throw the app into backup mode and take the snapshot are minimal.
Time taken to do error handling and update the back end DBs are the highest contribution.
How long is your 'hang time' ?
I hope this response has been helpful to you.
