Modifying or canceling a scheduled backup is a breeze in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), @Deadwood Al. The process is as simple as creating one. I'd be glad to assist you all the way through to achieve your goal.
To proceed, let's go to the Create Backup page. This is where you can modify or cancel the scheduled backup. Here's how:
- First, make sure you're in the Single-user mode.
- Once done, select the File menu.
- Hover over the Back up Company option and choose Create Local Backup.
- Next, click Local Backup and select Next.
- Then, select the Only schedule future backups option and click Next.
- In the Back Up On A Schedule section, highlight the previous scheduled backup you need to modify or cancel.
- Choose either Edit to modify the settings or Remove to cancel it (click Yes to confirm).
