QB online backup and recovery

I am now running QB online after moving from QB Desktop 2016.

 

I know that the cloud keeps my data secure. But if I make a mistake and want to go back to my data yesterday say, I don't see a way with the cloud version. The desktop version is easy.

 

Can anyone guide me as to how they have solved this problem, or where there is a supplier that provides this service for QB online. I have data from 2017 which is important for business analytics.

QB online backup and recovery

Our small business is exploring a change in accounting systems. We have looked at Quickbooks Online Advanced. During a call with an Intuit sales rep we asked about backup and recovery capabilities. We were forwarded a link to a backup application that is bundled with Online Advanced. The customer comments re: this application were very unfavorable. We responded to the sales rep that we'd like to talk about this further but he has now gone dark on us. Very unusual for a sales person to go dark. The more we look into this the more concerns we have about backup and recovery capabilities, especially the ability to recover certain historical files or data. Quickbooks is very upfront to say that only a year of backup data is retained which leaves us wondering what would happen if we were asked to produce multiple historical years of financial information. Have other online clients arrived at a capability to backup and recover financial data using Quickbooks Online Advanced?

QB online backup and recovery

I appreciate the time and effort you’ve invested in learning more about QuickBooks Online (QBO) Advanced, rj74. I understand that having robust backup and recovery capabilities is key to supporting your business operations.

 

QBO Advanced includes automated backup and restore functionality designed to help businesses protect their data and recover from accidental changes, deletions, or corruption.

 

Please note that the Online Backup and Restore app saves all backup snapshots taken in the last 1 year. Backups that are older than one year won't be retrievable by the company. You can restore company data to within one previous calendar year. There are also certain data that you can and can’t back up.

 

To learn more about this, you can visit this article: Back up and restore your QuickBooks Online Advanced company.

 

If you want to produce multiple historical years of financial information, you can consider exporting your data or exploring third-party applications that can back up and restore more than a year of historical data.
