Prompt Title: Backup files to remote server.

To backup files to a shared folder on a remote server with PowerShell, you can use the following steps:

1. Connect to the remote server using the New-PSDrive cmdlet. This creates a persistent mapping to the remote folder that you can reference in your commands.

powershellCopy code
New-PSDrive -Name "Remote" -PSProvider "FileSystem" -Root "\\RemoteServer\SharedFolder"

2. Change the location to the remote folder using the Set-Location cmdlet. This is equivalent to navigating to the folder in Windows Explorer.

powershellCopy code
Set-Location "Remote:"

3. Use the Copy-Item cmdlet to copy the files from your local machine to the remote folder. You can use wildcards to specify a pattern of files to copy.

powershellCopy code
Copy-Item "C:\Files\*.txt" -Destination "Remote:\Backup"

4. Disconnect from the remote server using the Remove-PSDrive cmdlet. This closes the connection to the remote folder.

powershellCopy code
Remove-PSDrive "Remote"

Putting it all together, here's an example script to backup all .docx files from C:\Documents on your local machine to \\RemoteServer\SharedFolder\Backup:

powershellCopy code
New-PSDrive -Name "Remote" -PSProvider "FileSystem" -Root "\\RemoteServer\SharedFolder"
Set-Location "Remote:"
Copy-Item "C:\Documents\*.docx" -Destination "Remote:\Backup"
Remove-PSDrive "Remote"

Note: You will need to have appropriate permissions to access the shared folder on the remote server.
