I do a local back up to a flash drive everyday. All of a sudden, today, it said it couldn't because there was some problems with some data. Said I needed to rebuild. I did and stated it couldn't fix all and were 4 it couldn't. Those 4 things made no sense. 3 were about bank feeds, of which I don't use with quickbooks and the other with one of my accounts and I don't understand. I changed the flash drive, same thing and then I closed out and rebooted my computer and same thing. What the heck is up all of a sudden? Help
I want to stop this from happening to you, @Nonee. I have various solutions.
Thanks for doing some basic troubleshooting steps before posting here in the Community. The steps you've done are the best starting point to resolve the issue. We can work together to fix the problem that wasn't resolved during the rebuilding process.
To begin, ensure that your QuickBooks Desktop is in the latest release. This way, you always have the latest features and fixes. You can press F2 on your keyboard to see the version you currently use.
If it's updated and the issue persists, I'd recommend utilizing the File Doctor feature to fix company file issues. I'll show you how:
If you see the same error, follow Steps 3 to 5 in this article: Fix company file and network issues with QuickBooks File Doctor.
However, if the problem continues, I'd suggest saving the backup to your local HD, then copying them to the external or cloud drive folder.
Moreover, check out these articles below on how to back up using Intuit Data Protect and fix general company file problems in QuickBooks:
Lastly, may I ask for a screenshot of the error? This way, I can further investigate the error and provide you with the most suitable solution.
I'll be waiting for your response. Feel free to leave a message below, and I'll get you back. Keep safe, Nonee.
How big is your file size? Are you able to backup on your local drive?
I don't know how to do a screen shot to you, but I just copied and now I'll paste. I just did a quick fix but haven't checked yet, but based on what the problems are below, is what I don't understand. Three of the 4 problems are bank feed issues. I don't do online banking through quickbooks and never have so not sure how that even shows as an issue. The other says I have an account labled American Express. I do not. Therein lies my problem, lol. So I think I've given you the file below.
Thanks
