Can I restore an earlier company files in Quickbooks Essentials online?

Importing data directly from QuickBooks Desktop to QB Online International is unavailable, anthonybutler.

You'll need to manually export the data from QBDT, and import it in QBO. The information you can export includes the following:

• Customers
• Vendors
• Items list 
• Reports

You can check this article for the detailed steps on how to export: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-us/manage-lists/import-or-export-ms-excel-files/00/20....

Then, you can import the data in QBO with these helpful articles:
