FIX: ERROR, WARNING and INFO log levels work for console output (the log is always DEBUG level)
DIF: Adjusted some logging output levels.
DIF: Set LogLevel default to 2 (INFO).
NEW: All configurable variables are parameters.
FIX: Removed all author/computer-specific paths and messages.
FIX: Typos
FIX: Correctly handles multiple backups made on the same day (no more randomness)
DIF: Reworked many things for clarity or to be more "PowerShell-like"
DIF: Combined 'staging' and non-staging. "Non-staging" is just staging in the Destination.
DIF: Added/reworked comments and log output for clarity/consistency.
