Changed from iterating Get-ChildItem to using Copy-Item with wildcard
This ensures proper recursive copying of all files and subdirectories
Before: Get-ChildItem | ForEach-Object { Copy-Item ... }
After: Copy-Item -Path "$Source\*" -Destination $Destination -Recurse
This prevents issues where nested directories aren't copied correctly.

Windows has reserved device names that cannot be used as file names:
- CON, PRN, AUX, NUL
- COM1-9, LPT1-9
Changed backup function from Copy-Item to Robocopy which properly
handles these reserved names. This fixes the error when backing up
.claude directories that contain files with these names.
Robocopy exit codes:
- 0-7 = Success
- 8+ = Errors
