It seems that [1] putty usually comes with the "plink" utility.
This is essentially the "ssh" command line command implemented as a windows .exe.
It pretty well documented in the putty manual under "Using the command line tool plink". You just need to wrap a command like:plink root@myserver /etc/backups/do-backup.sh
From the comment of the same answer it comes out that
In addition you can use pageant to allow the key to be loaded and used so there is no need to enter the key's passphrase each time.
In another answer it is reported [2] to use a command line as
putty.exe -ssh -2 -l username -pw password -m c:remote.cmd remote_host
of course you can add the specification you need for the ssh-keys you need.
You can find interesting to read more on the manual of putty, for example in the section 4.17 [3], some example [4], the ssh manual [5]... and last but not least "Howto force ssh to use a specific private key" [6] reported her below:
ssh -o "IdentitiesOnly=yes" -i <private key filename> <hostname>
