## Project Description

Elucidate is a Windows GUI front-end for the command-line SnapRAID application.

*This project is continues the amalgamation of the great work done by myself and other contributors.

## System Requirements

- Windows Operating System

- .Net Runtime 4.8.0

- SnapRaid Version 11.5 or lower

- 10MB Free Space on target drive

## FAQs

**Q**: What is SnapRAID?


**A**: SnapRAID is a software-defined snapshot-parity engine for Windows and Linux operating systems. On the most basic level, it offers protection to the contents of a file-system under its umbrella by computing the hashes of its component files and storing the results on a parity file. In the event of a complete hard drive failure, this parity file can be used to reconstruct the lost data. For full detail, visit SnapRAID's [official comparison of file protection engines.](http://snapraid.sourceforge.net/compare.html)

**Q**: Why a GUI, the Command Line works!


**A**: The larger goal is to create a feature-complete GUI with additional management features designed to aid a user in maintaining a functioning SnapRAID environment. Sometimes, ‘point and clicks’ are easier for a novice to get going with. SnapRAID's technical documentation and deep configurability can make adopting it off-putting to those looking to try it out!

**Q**: I'm still uncertain, is there more ?


**A**: Yes, Have a look at the [documentation](./docs/Documentation.md) for pictures etc.

**Q**: So what are the "Larger Goals" ?
