How to run iis backup executable in powershell

Question

I am trying to run the following command and have tried passing arguments and hash tables but it did not work:

msdeploy.exe -verb:sync -source:metakey=lm/w3svc/1 -dest:package=C:\iis_backups\site1.zip,encryptPassword=xyxyz > C:\iis_backups\site1.log

Define `did not work` - what are you expecting it to do, and what is it doing instead. If you get an error message, please include the full message. — RB., Mar 08 '17 at 16:19

It appears the solution for your scenario is as follows:

msdeploy.exe '-verb:sync' '-source:metakey=lm/w3svc/1' '-dest:package=C:\iis_backups\site1.zip,encryptPassword=xyxyz' > C:\iis_backups\site1.log
