13                      "The Snapshot class is an optional construct. It can be used to "
14                      "represent an Extent that contains a full copy of another "
15                      "Extent, or the changes to that Extent when performing a "
16                      "delta-based (delta before or delta after) copy. \n"
17                      "Snapshot\'s definition in CIM is not equivalent to the act of "
18                      "creating a volume or file-based snapshot, or a point in time "
19                      "copy. It is at a much lower level and represents the use of "
20                      "storage to hold a copied image of an Extent, or to hold "
21                      "changes to an Extent. Use of the Snapshot object when making a "
22 karl  1.1.2.2        "full copy is only recommended if the purpose is to describe "
23                      "the existence of a copy. (This use will be very infrequent.) "
24                      "The problem with describing an Extent solely as a \'snapshot\' "
25                      "is that when the snapshot/copy is broken, the object must be "
26                      "destroyed. Typically, this object still holds valid data, and "
27                      "would have to be reinstantiated. If the \'full copy\' object "
28                      "is to be treated as a StorageVolume or more general Extent, "
29                      "then it should be modeled as such from the beginning - i.e., "
30                      "not as an instance of Snapshot but as an instance of a generic "
31                      "StorageExtent or StorageVolume. In this case, the Synchronized "
32                      "association would be used to describe that one StorageExtent "
33                      "is synchronized with another. \n"

37                      "a \'delta before\' Snapshot, the resultant target would be "
