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

• On the new computer
  • Go to the Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services and stop the MSSQL$PROVIDUSSTD service.
  • Go to C:\Program Files\Web Scraper Plus+\Data or C:\Program Files (x86)\Web Scraper Plus+\Data and rename ProvidusDB_Data.mdf to ProvidusDB_Data.mdf.old and ProvidusDB_Log.ldf to ProvidusDB_Log.ldf.old
• On the original computer with the packages
  • Go to Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services and stop the MSSQL$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, start the MSSQL$PROVIDUSSTD service)
