Using Powershell to copy entire folders on a scheduled basis
I am looking for advice on using Powershell to create a backup task that can be scheduled. In this case I want all folders on the 'D' drive to be backed up to a folder on the'I' drive into a folder called backups. The first time it runs it needs to back up all files. Subsequently it needs to backup only files that have been changed.

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
