I would like to copy an existing file geodatabase and rename it to a different location. I have been reading up on the FILECOPY but can’t make sense of what I’ve seen. Any help is greatly appreciated.
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.
