.SYNOPSIS
Syncronizes two folders
.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
.PARAMETER targetPath
Specifies the path to the target folder
.EXAMPLE
PS> ./sync-folder.ps1 C:\MyPhotos D:\Backups\MyPhotos
