Create a copy of a folder appending the current date and time to the newly created folder.
Script notes
Script is straight forward. A new folder (named FolderName-backupyyyyMMdd-hhmm) is created in the same path as the source folder. All the files are copied from the source to the new folder.
I use this to create a backup of my scripts on my dev pc before I sign and deploy them.
function Backup-Folder([string]$FolderPath)

if (test-path -LiteralPath $FolderPath) {
