We have found at SnapShooter that sometimes snapshots hang but only very rarely. We have taken 1000’s of snapshots and only had a couple fail.
Based on our data 9gb should take 7-9 minutes to backup, we do find if a server is under extremely high load they take a bit longer. But I would say in your instance it’s broken.
Once it’s been unjammed I would not let it discourage you from taking snapshots.
