            raise FileNotFoundError(f"The source directory '{directory_path}' does not exist.")
        # Create the backup directory if it doesn't already exist

        os.makedirs(backup_path, exist_ok=True)
        # Get the list of files in the source directory

        files = os.listdir(directory_path)
        # Copy each file from the source directory to the backup directory

        for file in files:

            source_file = os.path.join(directory_path, file)

            destination_file = os.path.join(backup_path, file)

            shutil.copy2(source_file, destination_file)
        print("Toolkit backup completed successfully.")
    except Exception as e:

        print(f"An error occurred during the backup process: {str(e)}")

# Usage example source_directory = "/path/to/toolkit" backup_directory = "/path/to/backup" backup_toolkit(source_directory, backup_directory)
