I have to create a File Geodatabase copy of my SDE Geodatabase to either use as backup or send to another organization periodically. It's easy to do in Catalog, I can simply drag and drop each dataset into a newly created FGDB and everything will load, attachment tables, relates, and domains. However I don't want to do this manually and would prefer to do it programmatically. So I want to see how the UI does it under the hood, so to speak as I don't know all the processes it takes to get it right. But there's no reference to the geoprocesses that occur and naturally, of course, there's nothing I can export to see the multiple steps it takes to properly copy and coordinate the operation through it's chosen scripts operating behind the scenes.
So my suggestion is to make these UI processes transparent and exportable to python or, even better, model builder to get a script so I can reference and learn from in my own Python self-education.
I think many desktop users would find value in referencing this operation and emulating its processes in script so we can, not only conduct simple copies of the FCs, but to make sure all the associations, domains, attachments etc. are accounted for in the replicated FGDB.
