ExFat filesystem is supported by os x /win7 and later iirc
Are both computers linked with a network?
If so, you could create a share on the Windows computer and copy to that share from the Mac.
Dropbox or Skydrive?

You can make a .dmg file on disc tools with the size of 6 GB and store your back-up files in it. I have done so with my most important files and saved them on a USB. You could save them on a DVD or whatever.
Why not a usb thumb drive?

Format a USB drive as exFat. Readable and writable by both systems.The largest file I have put on a stick was around 15 GB, so your 6 would be no problem.
I never knew ExFat was readable on MS Windows. Are you sure?

Do I need to go into Disk Utility and select Options and "Master Boot Record"?

if I am wrong, but ALL the FAT versions of file systems can not support a file more than 4 point something GB? I was confronted with a problem like this, a time ago. My solution? Format an USB drive as NTFS (voiding the size limit of FAT) and downloading a utility to read the NTFS....outdated I know....but works for me in the far times of Tiger....(Mac OS X 10.4)...
