How do I do a daily backup of my quickbooks to a flash drive?

Thanks for joining the QuickBooks Community forum. I see you want to daily backup of your QuickBooks to a flash drive. You've arrived at the right place! I'm here to impart information and guidelines to help you back up your data files to a flash drive.

 

There are several ways to export data from QuickBooks, including the download button on many forms, lists, and reports. You can easily save copies of these to your computer's hard drive.

 

If you need to export more data, you have a few options:

 

If you need to export data for auditing purposes or to share with stakeholders, we have a new feature that streamlines the process by allowing you to download the most important lists and reports.

 

To export your report or list:

 

  1. Go to Settings ⚙.
  2. Select Export data.
  3. On the Reports tab, set the date range.
  4. Add or remove items from the Reports and Lists tabs by turning the switch on or off.
  5. Select Export to Excel.

 

If you need continuous backup for your data, you can find apps in the QuickBooks App Store that provide this service.

 

I'm adding this article you can use in the future: Export your reports to Excel from QuickBooks Online.

 

Either of these steps can help back up your data to a flash drive. If you have more questions about managing your data in QuickBooks Online, post them here in the forum. I'll be sure to answer them ASAP. Have a nice day!
