It may be worthwhile going to Churchill Insurance's web page (can't remember what it is but do a search its quite easy to find), there you'll find an article by Nigel Nobel which is about recreating/moving large databases, its definitely worth a read.

I've attach an HTML copy (no embedded pics). [ Section: 1/1 File: exports.htm Encoder: Turnpike Version 3.03a ]

begin 644 exports.htm
<uuencoded_portion_removed>
,"@T*/"]H=&UL/@T*
`
end

sum -r/size 37083/35262 section (from "begin" to "end") sum -r/size 39937/25572 entire input file

Hope it helps
