Re: Transfer Hoster from one laptop to another

Is there any reason you can’t create the backup from the computer that has the file you want on it ?
The backup does not need to be from the same registration.
Save that backup file on a memory stick or external hard drive. Then Restore to your new computer.


If you would rather just copy the file singers.mdb.
it is in : C:/ProgramData/mtu.com/Hoster/

As I have tried to explain before in post#5 it is hard to find in Windows explorer as ProgramsData is a hidden folder.
In Windows 10 you can unhide it by ticking hidden box and while your about it tick the File name extensions, you need to do this from the view tab in Explorer.
I attach screen shot to show better.

You would have to paste singers.mdb into the your new C:/ProgramData/mtu.com/Hoster/
folder.

If your original file is not from Windows 10 computer you will have to unhide hidden folders from file properties.

The Backup /Restore is designed to try and make this easier.
If you are Pasting anything into the HosterData folder make sure Hoster is not running at the same time.
