I have a requirement which is with PowerShell script: when we deleting site collection with PowerShell before deleting we should have a backup copy(bak) in a specified location.

Example:

Remove-SPSite before this action we need to execute the backup-spsite action.

Please suggest me how to achieve the target.

Hello you can use below script.

Add-PsSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.Powershell –ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
try
{    
#Location of the Backup Folder  
#This will actually initiate the SPSite backup.
Backup-SPSite -Identity "http://portal/sites/production" -Path "C:\SPBackups\production.bak"

#This will actually initiate the SPSite Remove.
Remove-SPSite -Identity "http://portal/sites/production" -GradualDelete
}
catch
{
#Catch error if  occured.
$ErrorMessage = $_.Exception.Message   
}
