| Hi,I would like to take the last backup file (from about 2GB), zip it and copy it on another machine. What would be the fastest and most efficient way? Is there a compression tool available? |

| You're never going to be able to efficiently zip a 2GB file. But I would schedule a batch file using the windows scheduler.There is a good free zip utility here http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/Damian |
