    Hi LiuWei,

    You can use 

    $Sourcefolder = "C:\temp"
    $Targetfolder= "C:\temp2\New folder"
    Copy-Item -Path $Sourcefolder -Destination $Targetfolder -Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

    All Files ... and directories are copied to the destination Path. The Tree is maintained.

    When you run, if  files/Dir are already existing in the destination path : Error. Then use the parameter -ErrorAction Silently Continue to manage this.

    How does this copy only files older than 30 days?  Perhaps you should read the whole thread before guessing at an answer.
