Image creation hangs at 9% during Shadow copy

AaronUrfer

We have a powershell process that grabs all of the databases on SQL instance. It works really well, but image creation after the first image hangs at 9% during the shadow copy process. When trying to do about 60 images from a server, this can be very time consuming, sometimes over night. Is this something specific to creating images from a live SQL database or is there something we are missing in the image creation processes?

Does the image creation succeed eventually, just staying at 9% for a long time, or does it hang forever at 9%?
