I've run a query to backup my database. It's just under 4 gig. I'm trying to move this database to another machine. I've found that I don't have a flash key large enough. I can't compress and zip the file. So I'm lost for "the cheaper" methods of accomplishing my tasks. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Is the destination machine physically in proximity to the source machine? You could use a cross-over cable to connect the two and set up sharing, then move the file to the other machine.

It the two machines are already on the same network, you already have what you need.

Life is more painless for those who are brainless.
