FCM Exchange: FlashCopy volume direct mount also for mailbox restore

Customer needs direct FlashCopy volume mount also for individual restores (single DB-restore, mailbox restore, mailbox browser) in FCM for Exchange.
It's possible at the moment with "instant restore" for the whole Exchange DB.
For single item restores FCM uses the recovery DB and therefore the "restore copy space is needed. And single item restore is not a fast restore.

    Thank you for submitting this request. There are some limitations today as to why this cannot be delivered in short-order (e.g. Microsoft enablement for the design of such a capability, VSS providers offering support of this capability) but we are continuing to investigate and evaluate options. We are considering it for a future release but this is not a statement of commitment as plans and intent are subject to change.

    We are facing this issue as well. Why can't the content of the flashcopy used to create the Recovery Database? At the moment the content from the Flashcopy is copied to a different location and then the recovery Database is created.
