PROPERTY	SMS_REPORT	CIMTYPE	DESCRIPTION
Caption		String	A short textual description (one-line string) of the CIM_Setting object.
ClientAccessible		Boolean	The ClientAccessible property is indicates whether the shadow copy was created by the Windows Previous Versions component.
Description		String	A textual description of the CIM_Setting object.
Differential		Boolean	The Differential property indicates whether the shadow copy was created by a differential shadow copy provider. The provider can be implemented in hardware or software.
ExposedLocally		Boolean	The ExposedLocally property indicates whether the shadow copy is exposed on the local machine with a drive letter or mount point. If this flag and the ExposedRemotely flag is not set, the shadow copy is hidden.
ExposedRemotely		Boolean	The ExposedRemotely property indicates whether the shadow copy is exposed on a remote machine with a network share. If this flag and the ExposedLocally flag is not set, the shadow copy is hidden.
HardwareAssisted		Boolean	The HardwareAssisted property indicates whether the shadow copy was created by a hardware shadow copy provider.
Imported		Boolean	The Imported property indicates whether the shadow copy was imported onto this machine using the Import method rather than created using the ShadowCopy create method.
Name		String	The name of the context
NoAutoRelease		Boolean	The NoAutoRelease property indicates whether the shadow copy is automatically deleted when the shadow copy requestor process ends. If this property is TRUE, the shadow copy is retained after the requestor process ends.

Persistent		Boolean	The Persistent property indicates whether the shadow copy is persistent across reboots.
