I get the following error when trying to create an image from SQL server instance:

Expected provider error. Check the event log for details. (VssProviderVetoException)

Log says:

Hi Gert,

We've made a change to how we use VSS in our latest release (2.6.3). It might be worth retrying with that version - let us know if that doesn't help!
