You can get date time with this : 

DateTime dtnow = DateTime.Now;
string strDate=dtnow.Day.ToString()+dtnow.Month.ToString()+dtnow.Year.ToString();

And for copy the directory to another see this CodeProject article: Function to copy a directory to another place (nothing fancy)

private static bool CopyDirectory(string SourcePath, string DestinationPath, bool overwriteexisting)
        {
            bool ret = true;
            try
            {
                SourcePath = SourcePath.EndsWith(@"\") ? SourcePath : SourcePath + @"\";
                DestinationPath = DestinationPath.EndsWith(@"\") ? DestinationPath : DestinationPath + @"\";

                if (Directory.Exists(SourcePath))
                {
                    if (Directory.Exists(DestinationPath) == false)
                        Directory.CreateDirectory(DestinationPath);

                    foreach (string fls in Directory.GetFiles(SourcePath))
                    {
                        FileInfo flinfo = new FileInfo(fls);
                        flinfo.CopyTo(DestinationPath + flinfo.Name, overwriteexisting);
                    }
                    foreach (string drs in Directory.GetDirectories(SourcePath))
                    {
                        DirectoryInfo drinfo = new DirectoryInfo(drs);
                        if (CopyDirectory(drs, DestinationPath + drinfo.Name, overwriteexisting) == false)
                            ret = false;
                    }
                    Directory.CreateDirectory(DI_Target + "//Database");
                }
                else
                {
                    ret = false;
                }
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                ret = false;
            }
            return ret;
        }

Basically you'd use 

var files = Directory.GetFiles(originalFolder,"*.*",SearchOption.AllDirectories)

to get all files you want to copy, then create target directory by 

Directory.Create(destinationFolder)

and loop over original filenames (in files), use FileInfo class to get path of original files, and File.Copy() to copy files to their new location. All of these classes are in System.IO namespace.
