Divide a 5 GB DB to FTP

I need to divide a 5 GB database into two parts so that
it does reach the 4 GB to winzip a file.
Please help me with this task.
Thank You,
DeanYou can backup a DB to multiple backup files. This is normally done for
striping backup of large DB's (and 4G isn't one...) across multiple disks,
but it will certainly meet your need.
Simply use the SQL Enterprise Manager backup GUI and put two files in the
list instead of one...

<http://www.dbassociatesit.com/products.asp?prod=1> to compress during the
backup. This reduces both time and space and doesn't have the 4GB size
limit.
Hope this helps.

I second that motion.
SQLLiteSpeed ROCKS!
But, it does beg the question - why can't MS do it?

Send your product enhancements requests to sqlwish@.microsoft.com.
I guess it's mostly a matter of prioritizing features based on development
resources. We'd never see a new version if they tried to squeeze everything
into the next release.

I third the motion -- SQLLiteSpeed has benefited me in a tremendous way.
I'm currently working with DBAssociates on a case study of our deployment...
