VirtualDiskSeSparseBackingInfo
Backing type for virtual disks that use the space efficient sparse format.
Space for space efficient sparse disks is allocated on demand and optimizations are applied to achieve additional space savings. The effective space usage of such a disk can be obtained from VirtualMachineFileLayoutEx.

Flag to indicate whether writes should go directly to the file system or should be buffered.
Disk UUID for the virtual disk, if available.
Content ID of the virtual disk file, if available.
A content ID indicates the logical contents of the disk backing and its parents.
This property is only guaranteed to be up to date if this disk backing is not currently being written to by any virtual machine.
The only supported operation is comparing if two content IDs are equal or not. The guarantee provided by the content ID is that if two disk backings have the same content ID and are not currently being written to, then reads issued from the guest operating system to those disk backings will return the same data.
The change ID of the virtual disk for the corresponding snapshot or virtual machine.
This can be used to track incremental changes to a virtual disk. See QueryChangedDiskAreas.

The format of the delta disk.
This field is valid only for a delta disk.
See DeltaDiskFormat for the supported formats. If not specified, the default value used is redoLogFormat.
Indicates whether the disk backing has digest file enabled.
Specify the grain size in kB.
The default size is 4 kB.
