data base size, help!

The size of an sql server database has is 1gig and the log file is 1 gig.
The server I'm on is running out of space and was wondering if you have ever
run into this problem and what I should do about it?
How can I move previous year records off the database?
Should I make a backup and then delete them from the current database?
Do I need the log file?
How do I reduce the size?

Buy a bigger disk? Why does your server have a 2GB volume?

You can use dozens of methods, including DTS them to another database and
then delete.

> Do I need the log file?
Yes, you need the log file. It's not there because it's pretty.
