USB does not support peer to peer connectivity, unlike the traditional serial port which can work using products such as Laplink. You would better off using a crossover cable on the ethernet ports, use a network hub/switch, backing up your data to a cd(r)or using any other removable media.

The previous answer is right on target. But why only USB? If both have Ethernet ports, make them part of same workgroup, connect them by a cat5 cable and then start transferring.

The simplest solution is to transfer data over the network, however if you want to preserve security it may be better to do a back and then restore to the second server.
