Can I backup online data to personal computer

Hi there, @simplyoakboutiqu.

 

Yes, you can create a backup copy of your QuickBooks Online (QBO) data and save it to your computer. Yet before that, please note that if you cancel your QBO subscription, you will still have read-only access to your account for one year.

 

For more details, you can read this article: What happens to my data after canceling my QuickBooks subscription.

 

If you decide to resubscribe within that one year, your QuickBooks data will remain accessible. However, if you don't plan to renew your subscription, you can proceed with exporting your data to save a backup copy.

 

Here’s how:

 

  1. Go to Settings. Under the Tools column, select Export Data.
  2. Decide whether you want to export Reports or Lists first.
  3. For exporting Reports, open the dropdown menu under Pre-selected date ranges and choose a desired date period.

  4. Use the toggle switches to include specific data in the export. The same process applies when you choose Lists.

  5. Once done finalizing, click Export to Excel.
  6. After that, you can check it in the Downloads section on your computer.

 

Feel free to reach out again if you have additional questions. We’re here to assist you.

Convert your data to QB Desktop and you can use the trial version to access your historical data for good.
