VeraCrypt currently says that VSS support is not supported for non-system mounted volumes due to missing API documentation. I'd like to ask whether this limitation could be revisited.

Microsoft now documents the VSS provider model, including software snapshot providers and interfaces such as 'IVssSoftwareSnapshotProvider'.
It seems technically possible for VeraCrypt to add support by implementing its own VSS software provider or equivalent storage-stack integration.

This would be very useful for backup tools, restic wrappers, and Windows Backup, which rely on VSS to safely back up live application data.

I'm sure many people would be very grateful if this issue/feature could be revisited.

Thank you.
