Intuit Backup

I have Quickbooks Desktop Pro.  Not online.  Somehow, by accident, clicked yes on Quickbooks backup.  I don't want that.  I back up my own.  How do I cancel and get it to stop?

Let's see what we can do about this, @Nonee. I’ll walk you through the steps on how to turn off and cancel the automatic backup feature.

 

I can sense the urgency of stopping the backup process. With this, follow the instructions below:

 

  1. Go to the File menu, select Back up Company, then Create Local Backup.
  2. Click Local Backup and then Next.
  3. Tap Save it now and schedule future backups, then Next.
  4. Select a scheduled backup, then click Remove.
  5. Tap Yes, then Finish. 2.png

     

If you have an active subscription for Intuit Data Protect, here's how to cancel it:

 

  1. Right-click Intuit Data Protect from the System Tray.
  2. Select About Intuit Data Protect.
  3. Once the About Intuit Data Protect window opens, press CTRL+F2 simultaneously to open the IDP Diagnostic tool.
  4. Click Log out

 

For more details about this process, see this article: Disable Intuit Data Protect.

 

You also have the option to delete the backup folders and change its settings. For the detailed process, refer to these articles:

 

 

Get back to me anytime if you have any more questions regarding company files backup. I'll be happy to help.
