This example creates a backup of the Network Controller database.
The first command gets the credential for the current environment and then saves it in $Credential.
The second command creates a string version of the current time to use as the location of the backup.
The third command creates a NetworkControllerBackupProperties object.
The fourth command adds a path for the backup to the properties object.
The fifth command creates the backup.
The command uses the specified connection URI and the items created in the previous commands.
