Web Scraper and Web Macros FAQs

The easiest way to do this is to overwrite the database that holds the packages and datapages.

  • On the new computer
    • Go to the Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services and stop the MSSQL$PROVIDUSSTD service.
    • Go to C:\Program Files\Web Scraper Plus+\Data or C:\Program Files (x86)\Web Scraper Plus+\Data and rename ProvidusDB_Data.mdf to ProvidusDB_Data.mdf.old and ProvidusDB_Log.ldf to ProvidusDB_Log.ldf.old
  • On the original computer with the packages and datapages
    • Go to Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services and stop the MSSQL$PROVIDUSSTD service.
    • Locate the .mdf and .ldf files for the databases in C:\Program Files\Web Scraper Plus+\Data or C:\Program Files (x86)\Web Scraper Plus+\Data and copy them to the same folder on the new computer
  • Start the service again on both machines (Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services, right click, start the MSSQL$PROVIDUSSTD service)
