Yedekleme bitmeden dosyayı başka dizine taşımayacağım.

A natural breakdown is:

• yedekleme = backup / backing up / the backup process
• bitmeden = before it finishes / before it is finished
• dosya-yı = the file
  
  • -yı is the accusative marker
• başka dizin-e = to another directory
  
  • -e is the dative marker, often used for movement to somewhere
• taşı-ma-yacak-ım = I will not move
  • taşı- = move/carry
  • -ma- = negation
  • -yacak = future
  • -ım = I

So the structure is basically:

Before the backup finishes, I will not move the file to another directory.

Yedekleme comes from the verb yedeklemek = to back up.

The ending -me / -ma can turn a verb into a verbal noun, so:

• yedeklemek = to back up
• yedekleme = backing up / backup / the act of making a backup

In this sentence, yedekleme refers to the backup process, not necessarily the backup file itself.

-meden / -madan is a very common Turkish converb ending meaning:

• without doing
• before doing
• before something happens

So:

• bitmek = to finish, to end
• bitmeden = before finishing / before it finishes

In this sentence, Yedekleme bitmeden means:

• before the backup finishes
• literally something like without the backup having finished

This is a very natural Turkish way to express before X happens.

Turkish often leaves subjects unstated when they are clear from context.

Here, the thing that is finishing is obviously yedekleme (the backup process), so Turkish does not need a separate pronoun like it.

So:

• Yedekleme bitmeden
  literally: the backup not-finished-before naturally: before the backup finishes

English usually needs the pronoun or repeated noun more explicitly; Turkish often does not.

Because it is a specific direct object.

In Turkish, a definite/specific direct object usually takes the accusative ending:

• dosya = a file / file
• dosyayı = the file / the specific file

So:

• dosya taşıyacağım = I will move a file / files
• dosyayı taşıyacağım = I will move the file / that specific file

In your sentence, it is a particular file, so dosyayı is used.

Because the verb taşımak here involves movement to a destination, and Turkish usually marks that destination with the dative ending:

• dizin = directory
• dizine = to the directory

So:

• başka dizine = to another directory

This is similar to how English uses to.

Başka means other, another, or different.

So:

• başka dizin = another directory / a different directory
• başka dizine = to another directory

In this sentence, it means the file will not be moved to a different directory.

Yes, absolutely.

Both are possible:

• başka dizine
• başka bir dizine

The version with bir can sound a bit more like to another directory / to a different directory, with the indefiniteness stated more explicitly.

In many contexts, başka dizine is already perfectly natural and clear.

It is built from several parts:

• taşı- = move
• -ma- = negation
• -yacak = future tense
• -ım = first person singular (I)

So:

• taşıyacağım = I will move
• taşımayacağım = I will not move

This is a very common Turkish pattern:

verb + negation + future + person

Examples:

• yapacağım = I will do
• yapmayacağım = I will not do

That y is a buffer consonant.

Turkish often inserts y between two vowels to make pronunciation easier.

Here the structure is:

• taşı-ma-acak-ım would put vowels next to each other
• so Turkish uses y:
• taşı-ma-yacak-ım

So the y is not a separate meaning-bearing suffix; it is there for smooth pronunciation.

Turkish often does not use subject pronouns unless they are needed for emphasis or contrast.

The ending -ım in taşımayacağım already tells you the subject is I.

So:

• taşımayacağım = I will not move

You could say Ben taşımayacağım, but that would usually add emphasis, like:

• I won’t move it
• As for me, I won’t move it

Without emphasis, Turkish usually just leaves ben out.

Grammatically, bitmek is an intransitive verb meaning to finish / to end.

So bitmeden is literally closer to:

• before it finishes
• before it ends

But in English, depending on context, people may also say:

• before the backup is finished

Because a backup process is something that gets completed, both translations can work naturally in English. The Turkish form itself is not passive here.

Because Turkish normally places the main verb at the end of the sentence.

So the order here is:

• time clause: Yedekleme bitmeden
• object: dosyayı
• destination: başka dizine
• main verb: taşımayacağım

This verb-final pattern is one of the most important differences from English.

Yes, Turkish word order is flexible, but not completely free.

The most neutral version here is:

• Yedekleme bitmeden dosyayı başka dizine taşımayacağım.

Other orders are possible for emphasis, for example:

• Dosyayı yedekleme bitmeden başka dizine taşımayacağım.
• Başka dizine dosyayı yedekleme bitmeden taşımayacağım.

These can shift emphasis slightly, but the verb usually still stays at the end in normal statements.

It is a subordinate adverbial clause expressing time.

It tells us when the main action will not happen:

• when will I not move the file?
• before the backup finishes

So it functions like English time clauses such as:

• before the backup finishes
• until the backup finishes
  though here before is the better match

Yes. A learner might also encounter alternatives such as:

• Yedekleme bitene kadar dosyayı başka dizine taşımayacağım. = I won’t move the file to another directory until the backup finishes.

This version uses bitene kadar = until it finishes.

Your original sentence with bitmeden is more like:

• I will not move the file before the backup finishes

In many real situations, these two are very close in meaning.

In computer Turkish:

• dizin = directory
• klasör = folder

In casual use, many people say klasör more often, especially in everyday speech. Dizin can sound a bit more technical or system-oriented, similar to the English distinction between directory and folder.

So this sentence is slightly technical/computer-related in tone.

Yes, it sounds natural, especially in a technical or computer-related context.

It is clear and standard Turkish. In everyday speech, some speakers might choose slightly different wording, such as klasöre instead of dizine, but the sentence itself is perfectly normal.

A fairly literal translation would be:

Before the backup finishes, I will not move the file to another directory.

If you want something even closer to the Turkish structure:

Without the backup finishing, I will not move the file to another directory.

That second version is more literal in structure, but the first one is better natural English.
