I have been working on the following code, i am trying to back up a gdb. I am first trying it with a file geodatabase then i will eventually like it to work with a SQL Server Express database server.My following code gives me an error but it does copy all the feature classes. I don't understand why this giving me an error but still creates the feature classes. Any help would be great.Thanks.import arcpy, os, string arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True DS3 = "C:\GIS\DS.gdb" if arcpy.Exists(DS3): arcpy.Delete_management(DS3) def CopyDatasets(start_db,end_db,num): #Set workspaces arcpy.env.workspace = start_db wk2 = end_db datasetList = arcpy.ListDatasets() #for feature classes within datasets for dataset in datasetList: print "Reading: {0}".format(dataset) name = arcpy.Describe(dataset) new_data=name.name[num:] if arcpy.Exists(wk2 + os.sep + new_data)==False: arcpy.Copy_management(dataset, wk2 + os.sep + new_data) print "Completed copy on {0}".format(new_data) else: print "Dataset {0} already exists in the end_db so skipping".format(new_data) #Clear memory del dataset def CopyFeatureClasses(start_db,end_db,num): #Set workspaces arcpy.env.workspace = start_db wk2 = end_db datasetList = arcpy.ListDatasets() #for feature classes within datasets for fc in arcpy.ListFeatureClasses(): print "Reading: {0}".format(fc) name = arcpy.Describe(fc) new_data=name.name[num:] if arcpy.Exists(wk2 + os.sep + new_data)==False: arcpy.Copy_management(fc, wk2 + os.sep + new_data) print "Completed copy on {0}".format(new_data) else: print "Feature class {0} already exists in the end_db so skipping".format(new_data) #Clear memory del fc def CopyTables(start_db,end_db,num): #Set workspaces arcpy.env.workspace = start_db wk2 = end_db datasetList = arcpy.ListDatasets() #for feature classes within datasets for table in arcpy.ListTables(): print "Reading: {0}".format(table) name = arcpy.Describe(table) new_data=name.name[num:] if arcpy.Exists(wk2 + os.sep + new_data)==False: arcpy.Copy_management(table, wk2 + os.sep + new_data) print "Completed copy on {0}".format(new_data) else: print "Table {0} already exists in the end_db so skipping".format(new_data) #Clear memory del table if __name__== "__main__": start_db = "C:\GIS\PARCEL\Parcel.gdb" #Origin Database end_db = "C:\GIS\DS.gdb" #To database num = 8 #number of characters in schema (for example: sde.sde. is 8) arcpy.Copy_management(start_db,end_db,num) arcpy.Copy_management(start_db,end_db,num) arcpy.CopyRows_management(start_db,end_db,num) I forgot to post the error.ExecuteError: Failed to execute.
