I am trying to use the distributed geodatabase tools to archive an SDE database to a file geodatabase on a monthly basis. Workflow is to Export XML Workspace Document from SDE, then Import XML Workspace Document to .gdb. This works fine in ArcMap, but returns an error from ArcPy. I tried creating a ModelBuilder to do this, which works fine, but once exported to ArcPy, fails. Has anyone else run across this issue? Any ideas on a fix? Thanks in advance! Error: Failed to execute. Parameters are not valid. ERROR 001162: Invalid XML file. Failed to execute (ImportXMLWorkspaceDocument).
