Compare and move files every 1 hour

Question

Sign in to vote
I am a novice with Powershell. I need to copy files from one folder to another folder, comparing the modified dates so I don't overwrite what is in the 2nd folder. I need to copy the files based on 1 hour intervals, and run the script every hour. I know this may sound weird, but I did the best I could explaining the situation.

Thank you for any help you can provide!

By the way the whole "copying only modified files" stuff is already being done very well by Robocopy. So if you just want to do the job there is no need of reinventing the wheel and you can simply use robocopy.exe (it's included with Windows)
