    .SYNOPSIS
    Compare two Intune Backup Files for changes.
     
    .DESCRIPTION
    Compare two Intune Backup Files for changes.
     
    .PARAMETER ReferenceFilePath
    Any Intune Backup file.
     
    .PARAMETER DifferenceFilePath
    Latest Intune Backup file, that matches the Intune Configuration (e.g. Device Compliance Policy, Device Configuration Profile or Device Management Script).
     
    .EXAMPLE
    Compare-IntuneBackupFile -ReferenceFilePath 'C:\temp\IntuneBackup\Device Configurations\Windows - Endpoint Protection.json' -DifferenceFilePath 'C:\temp\IntuneBackupLatest\Device Configurations\Windows - Endpoint Protection.json'
     
    .NOTES
    The DifferenceFilePath should point to the latest Intune Backup file, as it might contain new properties.
