Export Complete Donor Record(s)

I am beginning to work on a massive export. Our organization was the sponsor of a hospital for many years and now the hospital has formed its own foundation to fundraise and as a result I have to transfer all their applicable data to them in the coming weeks. They are moving to RE7 in January 08 and their consultant has asked for the data to be in a delimited file format.

Can anyone suggest what the best possible way to go about tackling such an export would be? We're talking 30,000+ records here and I want to include as much info as possible including relationships, notes, actions and, obviously, gifts. There's also a great deal of tribute information.

Is there a way to do this in a single export, or does it have to be segmented? Assuming I'll have to at least do seperate exports for Indiv and Org records. Was wondering if anyone has ever undertaken such a thing.

Thanks!
