I am trying to write a powershell script that copies my documents folder to a backups folder that I created in the same directory. my copy-item script looks like this:
copy-item C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\ -destination C:\Users\Administrator\Backups\Backup1\
but instead of Backup1 I want it to say Backup-CurrentDate-Time
I know I need to use the get date function but I don't know how to implement it without getting an error

You can use the Get-Date module and command substitution:
copy-item .\documents\ -destination .\my-backup-$(Get-Date -format "yyyy_MM_dd_hh_mm_ss")
