1. I would suggest you use some sort of a netpipe mechanism for copying it. like cat junk | ssh otherhost "cat > junk". As most network filesystems are not terribly 2G+ compliant.
2. Frankly I have no idea how you will manage to do this off an NTFS partition. Splitting/zipping or other archiving while running under NT comes to mind.

Unless I am mistaken:
1. Use alpha. As the only really stable 64 bit system. Ships with linux in the US under a week.
2. Or use Postgress as it does a per 1GB (tunable to arbitrary size) file spill.

See above. But in general unless I am mistaken you are trying to retrieve data from a "very experimental" filesystem. I would worry about that in first place.
Unless you really know what you are doing I suggest you resort to more conventional (either by means of software or hardware) methods.
