Backup to a network share

[Andre416]

Hi there,

we have 3 users using QuickBooks Desktop with the company file located on network share. I set up a backup schedule and as soon as I save my backup schedule settings and close the window a backup file is created on the network share in a folder that I specified in my backup settings, but for some reason my scheduled backups do not work, any idea why?

Thank you

Hi Andre416,

I'm glad to hear you regularly save a backup of your file and using the scheduled feature is a great idea. It'd be beneficial for an agent to take a closer look at exactly how you've got it set up, just to make sure everything is in line and no steps have been inadvertently missed.

I also recommend taking a look at this post from another community member to see if it fits your situation.
