I am not a big SharePoint guru, but I think you can't do this directly.
1) You have to enable PSRemoting: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh849694.aspx[^]
2) Than enter remote session: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh849707.aspx[^] or import remote session: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh849970.aspx[^]. See this article: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg550867(v=office.14).aspx[^] and search for Backup-SPSite.
