We have an old QuickBooks enterprise and desktop installed. We have fully migrated to SAP. However, we need to take the backup of the data and keep it for future purpose.

 

What options do I have? 

 

Export data into CSV? 

 

Thank you.

You can purchase a new one time (outright) license for QB Desktop 2020 Pro or 2021 Pro. Then purchase a 3rd party service to downgrade your company file to open on QB Desktop Pro anytime you need. Otherwise, you can use the trial version for QB Desktop Enterprise to open your file for 30 days.

Hi there rdoshi,

 

It's vital that all your records are kept up to date so that you can have access to your books. QuickBooks Desktop is a great program able to help you keep track of transactions so you can keep a good view of the financials of your company. I can provide some information about creating backups for QuickBooks Desktop.

 

If you're looking to generate a backup company file, you can do so using the steps in this linked article. If you're looking more towards exporting other types of files, you can check this link for the information and file types available to be exported.

 

If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out here.

Hi Alex,

 

Thank you for your reply. 

 

We do currently take company backup the same way as mentioned in the article. 

 

However, the business users wants to export "All" the data from Quickbooks and save it for later use and discontinue the license as we no longer use the QuickBooks application.
