You can use SQL server to 'backup" your DB to a File or to tape etc.

To move to another machine , copy the backup across, create the same db name and schema sizes etc, and then do a restore.

This will work with most veriosn of SQL server - its jsut easier to do in Sql 6 or 7 as the administrative interface is greatly improved in these later verions.
