Database problems

I noticed that my data base in one of the Locations is 250gb, in the other locations the data base is no more than 500MB aprox.

How can I fix this problem, I reindex the data base and it is still the same size. When I did a Backup and try to restore it in another PC, an error occured and it didn't finish restoring it.

Help!

Usually the database has a 2gb or 4gb limit with msde or sql2005exp but the log file can grow to fill the hard drive. If it's the .ldf file, this query could fix it:

find the log file name: select name from sysfiles set size growth limit: dbcc shrinkfile("logfilename_log",2) use minimal logging: alter database "databasename" set recovery simple
