 .SYNOPSIS
-	Sync's two folders
+	Syncronizes two folders
 .DESCRIPTION
-	This PowerShell script synchronizes two folders via Robocopy (useful for e.g. backups).
-	NOTE: Make sure the target folder is correct because the content gets replaced!
-.PARAMETER Source
-	Path to the source folder
-.PARAMETER Destination
-	Path to the destination folder
+	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
+.PARAMETER targetPath
+	Specifies the path to the target folder
 .EXAMPLE
-	sync-folder -source C:\Folder01 -destination C:\Folder02
+	PS> ./sync-folder.ps1 C:\MyPhotos D:\Backups\MyPhotos
