Powershell v3 - SQLCMD

I need to build a PS script that will call upon the MSSQL db and pass through a t-sql query to backup a database, then, restore the backup into another DB on the same server.

Thanks!

If you perform a search in the internet you'll find some examples for Backup & Restore SQL Server databases with powershell even I thing this will be more easily done with SQLCMD.
May I know why do you need this to be done with powershell?
