can be 254 levels deep.
Snaps
The number of child snapshots (snapshots taken of this snapshot).
TreeSnaps

all snapshots that share the base volume as their root.

Snap Data
The total amount of write data associated with the snapshot.
Unique Data
The amount of write data that is unique to the snapshot.
Shared Data
The amount of write data that is shared between this snapshot and other snapshots.
Retention Priority
The retention priority for the snapshot.
• never-delete: Snapshots will never be deleted.
• high: Snapshots may be deleted after all eligible medium-priority snapshots have been deleted.
• medium: Snapshots may be deleted after all eligible low-priority snapshots have been deleted.
• low: Snapshots may be deleted.
Snapshots that are mapped or are not leaves of a volume's snapshot tree are not eligible for automatic
deletion.
