I am trying to copy a backup from Company A to new Company B but file remaining in queued. Did I make a mistake or do I need to do something else to start the process? Please help. Thank you.
Your concern about the queued status is understandable, Kwipster. Thank you for adding a screenshot. I acknowledge the importance of quickly restoring your backed-up data.
No, you haven't made any mistakes. In QuickBooks Online, a queued status during backup or data restoration indicates that it is scheduled or waiting to be processed by the system. Ensure your internet connection is stable and strong, as a poor connection can cause this.
Additionally, when transferring a copy of your data from Company A to Company B, ensure it is blank or a fresh account. It allows the transfer to accurately reflect the financial and operational state of the original one without any unintended modifications or overlaps. It could also be the reason why the status still shows as queued.
If you have confirmed that Company B is a blank account and the internet connection is stable, let's troubleshoot this together. An accumulation of historical data can sometimes cause unusual behavior.
Here are the keyboard shortcuts you can use:
Log in to Online Backup & Restore. Check the status and attempt to initiate the backup copy again. Once the process is successful, return to your regular browser. Clear your cache to start anew. Alternatively, consider using other supported browsers installed on your system.
The backup process takes 30 to 40 minutes, and restoring it for 5 to 10 minutes. However, the duration also relies on the size of the data files.
