Samsung 960evo NVME 232GB formatted capacity with used 145GB backed up with MR makes.mrimg file of about 120GB. Backing up to a 7200rpm HDD used to take about 20 minutes and now to M.2 PCIe x2 (half speed of NVME drive) takes about 12 minutes, restore just about same time.
At one time I took advantage of free offer for Easus Backupper thinking to make another backup "just in case" but took over 2 hours to complete same task as MR.
Everything seems to be OK with the DISM command-lines. I don't really need to see the CBS.Log since sfc /scannow says: "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired them."
I would like to see if using EaseUS ToDo backup App made a difference with regard to the VSS error you got from MR. I cannot honestly wait for you to fix this issue, because a system image backup is the last line of defense everyone ought to have. Not having one ready is like running on a clunker where the brakes work sometimes and at another time they don't. That really means skating on very thin ice. Something really bad is waiting at the corner to happen. I certainly wouldn't like to see disaster strike a fellow member in TF.
I certainly will be following your case and be really happy once it is resolved.
As a last resort, if you are having VSS errors you can still make an image using the rescue environment. Not a solution of course but a work around until you can figure out a solution.Everything seems to be OK with the DISM command-lines.

Right now I'm finishing up moving over some big files to an external drive which might take a while and I don't want an more than 100 gigs of Virtual Machines backed up every time I backup the PC. It is going take a while. I might try backing up through a rescue environment to see if that helps but my goal is to create a set it and forget it type of backup schedule. I already have regback turned on so I can restore a registry backup if I need to and when system restore points worked along with using regback I didn't have to worry as much.
