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?

I just recently started getting into powershell, and, I love the power it brings to the table. So I was curious to a backup example in powershell for SQL DB.

Ok but for SQL Server whenever you can, use proprietary scripts.
