 $DestSource = "C:\Users\12024\OneDrive - wiretecpro\Documents\Backup\"

 

function Function-Backup{         [CmdletBinding()]     param(     [Parameter(Position=0,mandatory=$true)]     [string] $BackSource,     [string] $DestSource     )   Try{   # Add VARS , start with backup Folder Name $folderName = 'MyBackup\'   # Consantrate Vars $now = (get-Date -format 'dd-MMM-yyyy-HH-mm-ss-tt') $BackupFolder  = $folderName+$now $DestSourceFol =  $DestSource+$BackupFolder   # Check DESTINATION Folder, create one if does not exist if(!(Test-Path  $DestSourceFol)){   New-Item $DestSourceFol -ItemType Directory | Out-Null   }   # Check SOURCE Folder, Stop script if source folder path is not valid if(!(Test-Path $BackSource)){ Write-Warning 'CANNOT Locate Source' Write-Warning 'Script will stop' Start-Sleep -Seconds 3 break;   }   # Collect all files $files = (Get-ChildItem $BackSource -recurse) Write-host 'Backup in progress' -ForegroundColor Green   # Start Item by Item Copy foreach ($file in $files) {     if ($file.LastWriteTime -lt ($(Get-Date).AddDays(-1)))     {        Copy-Item $file.FullName -Destination $DestSourceFol -Recurse       } }   # Complete Backup Write-Host "Completed backup"   }Catch{   $errormessage = $($PSItem.ToString())   Write-Warning 'Error has occoured'   Write-host 'Problem FOUND:' $errormessage -ForegroundColor Red -BackgroundColor White       }   }

Connect-Azure-PowerShell if there is no existing Connection.

By Using MsolService to connect to Azure PowerShell, could be annoying time to time if unable to validate existing connection. The simple function below will just do that. To make below function work, you will need to adjust “$company” variable to ensure it fits into your environment. Rest of the function is pretty easy to understand.
