| Parameter     | Description                                                |
|---------------|------------------------------------------------------------|
| Snapshot Name | Name of the snapshot                                       |
| Keyspace      | Keyspace name                                              |
| Column Family | Column Family (table) name                                 |
| True Size     | Total size of all SSTables which are not backed up to disk |
| Size on Disk  | Total size of the snapshot on disk                         |

For example:

There is a single 1TB file in the snapshot directory. If that file also exists in the main column family directory, the size on the disk is 1TB and the true size is 0 because it is already backed up to disk.
