function Backup-DbaDbCertificate {
    <#
        .SYNOPSIS
            Exports database certificates from SQL Server using SMO.
 
        .DESCRIPTION
            Exports database certificates from SQL Server using SMO and outputs the .cer and .pvk files.
 
        .PARAMETER SqlInstance
            SQL Server name or SMO object representing the SQL Server to connect to. This can be a collection and receive pipeline input to allow the function to be executed against multiple SQL Server instances.
 
        .PARAMETER SqlCredential
            Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Windows and SQL Authentication supported. Accepts credential objects (Get-Credential)
 
        .PARAMETER Certificate
            Exports certificate that matches the name(s).
 
        .PARAMETER Database
            Exports the encryptor for specific database(s).
 
        .PARAMETER ExcludeDatabase
            Database(s) to skip when exporting encryptors.
 
        .PARAMETER EncryptionPassword
            A string value that specifies the system path to encrypt the private key.
 
        .PARAMETER DecryptionPassword
            A string value that specifies the system path to decrypt the private key.
 
        .PARAMETER Path
            The path to output the files to. The path is relative to the SQL Server itself. If no path is specified, the default data directory will be used.
 
        .PARAMETER Suffix
            The suffix of the filename of the exported certificate.
 
        .PARAMETER InputObject
            Certificate object
 
        .PARAMETER Confirm
            If this switch is enabled, you will be prompted for confirmation before executing any operations that change state.
 
        .PARAMETER EnableException
            By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.
            This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting.
            Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch.
 
        .PARAMETER WhatIf
            If this switch is enabled, no actions are performed but informational messages will be displayed that explain what would happen if the command were to run.

        .EXAMPLE
            Backup-DbaDbCertificate -SqlInstance Server1
            Exports all the certificates on the specified SQL Server to the default data path for the instance.
 
        .EXAMPLE
            $cred = Get-Credential sqladmin
            Backup-DbaDbCertificate -SqlInstance Server1 -SqlCredential $cred
 
            Connects using sqladmin credential and exports all the certificates on the specified SQL Server to the default data path for the instance.
 
        .EXAMPLE
            Backup-DbaDbCertificate -SqlInstance Server1 -Certificate Certificate1
            Exports only the certificate named Certificate1 on the specified SQL Server to the default data path for the instance.
 
        .EXAMPLE
            Backup-DbaDbCertificate -SqlInstance Server1 -Database AdventureWorks
            Exports only the certificates for AdventureWorks on the specified SQL Server to the default data path for the instance.
 
        .EXAMPLE
            Backup-DbaDbCertificate -SqlInstance Server1 -ExcludeDatabase AdventureWorks
            Exports all certificates except those for AdventureWorks on the specified SQL Server to the default data path for the instance.
 
        .EXAMPLE
            Backup-DbaDbCertificate -SqlInstance Server1 -Path \\Server1\Certificates -EncryptionPassword (ConvertTo-SecureString -force -AsPlainText GoodPass1234!!)
            Exports all the certificates and private keys on the specified SQL Server.
 
        .EXAMPLE
            $EncryptionPassword = ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText "GoodPass1234!!" -force
            $DecryptionPassword = ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText "Password4567!!" -force
            Backup-DbaDbCertificate -SqlInstance Server1 -EncryptionPassword $EncryptionPassword -DecryptionPassword $DecryptionPassword
            Exports all the certificates on the specified SQL Server using the supplied DecryptionPassword, since an EncryptionPassword is specified private keys are also exported.
 
        .EXAMPLE
            Backup-DbaDbCertificate -SqlInstance Server1 -Path \\Server1\Certificates
            Exports all certificates on the specified SQL Server to the specified path.
 
        .EXAMPLE
            Backup-DbaDbCertificate -SqlInstance Server1 -Suffix DbaTools
            Exports all certificates on the specified SQL Server to the specified path, appends DbaTools to the end of the filenames.
 
        .EXAMPLE
            Get-DbaDbCertificate -SqlInstance sql2016 | Backup-DbaDbCertificate
            Exports all certificates found on sql2016 to the default data directory.
