How do I copy a geodatabase to a different location using arcpy?

Anonymous User

I'm wanting to make a copy of a geodatabase from one location on our network to another. Can anyone help?

Stick with it and have some fun. Anytime you need to do something more than a couple of times, script it. There is only one way to get into python, and that's to get into python! A year ago I couldn't spell python...

I'm pretty new to Python but thanks for the input. I will have to give that a try so I can sharpen my skills.

Good job; you only need to set your workspace once, so lines 10 & 14 aren't needed. If you want to have some fun, create a list of the the database names and iterate through them in a 'for' loop....

I started writing out some code, but check this: Copy—Help | ArcGIS Desktop it's pretty easy...
