Just backup the database to a file then use xcopy to move the file to their machine. You can call xcopy via xp_cmdshell. Otherwise, place the backup file in a folder that has a network share on it so that the user can grab it themselves.

Read Backup Command/syntax in Books online. And after that copy it to other local machine.
