Hi, @Andreea Ruth Moldovan ,

For saving site as template, try to use the script below. Make sure you have enabled saving site as template before. It works in my lab SharePoint 2019 farm

$WebURL = "http://your-site-collection-URL"  
   
#Get the Web Object  
$Web= Get-SPWeb $WebURL  
   
#Variables for Save site as template settings  
$TemplateName ="PMO Site Template"  
$TemplateTitle ="PMO Project Site Template"  
$TemplateDescription ="Site template for PMO project management portal"  
   
#Option to Save with content  
$SaveWithContent= 1  #0 otherwise  
   
#Save site as template programmatically with PowerShell  
$Web.SaveAsTemplate($TemplateName,$TemplateTitle,$TemplateDescription,$SaveWithContent)
