I have a database that I need to sent off but the file size is just over 7gb and I need to fit it onto a cd. I tried to zip it but getting a message that I can only zip files under 4gb. I need help. Any suggestions would be great.

Can you export parts of the database and then zip those down to the size you need?

Or, can you burn the file to a DVD?

I dont think that I can break it down and we do not have a DVD burner in the building so that is not an option.
Thanks for the reply

Next question (sorry, I'm thinking as I type on this one), does this file HAVE to go on CD? Or can you backup the file to a tape and send it out that way?

Or...heh, just found. Check out this program you only get one free use, but it may be what you need.
