.SYNOPSIS
Syncronizes two folders
Sync two dirs
.DESCRIPTION
This PowerShell script synchronizes (mirrors) the content of 2 directory trees by using Robocopy.
Typical use cases are backups: at first everything is copied (full backup), afterward only changes are copied (incremental backup).
IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure the target path is correct because the content gets replaced (DATA LOSS)!
.PARAMETER sourcePath
Specifies the path to the source folder
Specifies the path to the source dir (to be entered by default)
.PARAMETER targetPath
Specifies the path to the target folder
Specifies the path to the target dir (to be entered by default)
.EXAMPLE
PS> ./sync-folder.ps1 C:\MyPhotos D:\Backups\MyPhotos
PS> ./sync-dir.ps1 C:\Photos D:\Backups\Photos
