Copy file geodatabase to a different location with a new name.

Hi ​@gneiss1.rey 

You may be running into trouble because a file gdb is treated as a folder. You could try and zip the fgdb and then use file copy. 

Or if you are treating it as a backup before you have a workspace progress further simply use a FeatureWriter after reading in your fgdb data, write the data out as a fgdb bkp and then proceed with the next steps in your workspace.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the response, ​@crutledge 

There must be something in the air but I am drawing a blank when compressing a file geodatabase. That seems like it might work but I can’t seem to find the transformer and parameters to do that.  

Thanks in advance. 

Oh ​@gneiss1.rey I was thinking just change the file type extension to .zip Or...FME is pretty good at that.

Then test your file copier using the zip. Hope that helps!!

I created a transformer called RenameFile on FME Hub, you can try it, hope that helps!
