In Database Recovery Facilitate provide a method to show the percentage of the recovery process

When running recoveries, especially large scale recoveries such as disaster recovery, DBAs are asked to provide an estimate of when the recovery will be completed. It would be helpful to have some sort of means to see what percentage of the entire recovery process, which would include restoring image copies and applying logs, rebuilding indexes, and creating post recovery image copies, has been completed.
