Hi Pat,
Most of my experience with this is in MS SQL 2000 but it should be almost the same.

I'm assuming you can't copy files directly between the servers, that you need to copy them locally first, right?

There are a couple ways to do this. If its a SQL Server service, you could just write and schedule a query that runs from another server against the server...

As far as I can tell you can't search for objects from SSMS, but you could in Query Analyzer. (Press F4 when in QA to bring it up)
