Hello, @BellFinance.
I am glad to hear that both methods for migrating your file worked well. Allow me to provide you with some insights regarding this matter.
Both methods will yield the same results. The standard method allows you to export your data directly from QBDT and import it into QBO Advanced. This can be a relatively simple process that doesn't require any additional tools or services.
On the other hand, uploading a backup file to the online conversion tool can be a more hands-off approach and has built-in checks that help ensure a clean transfer of data. Customers who are on discontinued versions can use this method to easily move their data without upgrading to the latest version.
Ultimately, the best choice for you depends on your business preference.
In addition, I would like to share some useful articles that can assist you in your migration process:
