SQL: SQL Server 7 SP2

Situation:
Same routine as always. Exporting database (as a backup) prior to upgrade of software and database structure. Approx 100 tables, 600 SPs

DTS details:
Export to new DB - copy objects & data - take default settings except for 'use default options' - here we check 'copy sql server logins'

DTS starts, everything looks good, gets to copying over tables to new database - gets to our MessageHistory table (contains BLOB field with zipped up wav file) - Approx 11,000 records in table. System REBOOTS during DTS at MessageHistory table. After reboot, check new database, all tables copied, but not all data - data stops at the MessageHistory table, did not even copy the first record into this table.

We have run dbcc_checktable, finds no problem. Have tried other ways around this, none successful.

This started a couple weeks ago with one customer - now, another customers system is doing the same thing. Is there a problem with exporting BLOB fields? Maybe related to the large number of records in the table? I know we have been able to do this in the past with no problem, but as time goes by, these history tables are getting larger. I am afraid we will start seeing more of our customers with this problem, which in turn, becomes our problem!!

All ideas and suggestions will be very much appreciated."
