    -SourceFolder <String>
    -RecipientKey <String>

    -FileFilter <String>
    -SecretFile <String> 
    -ExcludeHash
    -RootFolder <String>
    -LogPath <String>

The function requires a SourceFolder.

Either a RecipientKey or SecretKey is required.

If no ArchiveFile name is specified a default name is used.

You can ignore the remaining parameters if you are happy with the defaults.

What

The Compress-Peter compressess the contet of the SourceFolder and saves the result as the encrypted ArchiveFile. The archive file also contains the reconciliation file so that the recipient of the archive is able to reconcile the restore at the remote location.

If a RecipientKey is used then an extra file (```SecretFile``) is also created. Do not loose this file as without it you cannot decrypt the archive contents.
