Run SharePoint 2010 Management Shell as Administrator
Enter the command in following format :
Backup-SPSite http://server_name/sites/site_name -Path C:\Backup\site_name.bak
Example :
Backup-SPSite http://inpunects01:7676/sites/ITServices -Path C:\Backup\ITServices.bak
You can name your bak file as per your wish.I have named it ITServices.bak
Dont be worried if you go to this path and find a small bak file,keep refreshing this folder and you can see that the bak file size keeps on increasing as long itdoes not take complete back up.
I would suggest,run this command and go grab yourself a coffee,when your back your .bak file is Ready !
