Join nowHow do I create a backup or portable version of my on-line company books so that I can move it to QBPro2019 version ? I no longer need PC/Mac and remote access etc
We're glad to have you here, mcknway155.
I can definitely help you migrate your from QuickBooks Online (QBO) to QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).
You don't need to create a backup of your QBO file since it's a web based program. Instead, you can export data from QBO to QBDT.
Before we begin, you'd like to know more about the export limitations when exporting files from QuickBooks Online to QuickBooks Desktop: Export limitations - QuickBooks Online to QuickBooks Desktop.
To start with, you can configure the Internet Explorer's security to successfully export file.
Once done, let's proceed to running the program as the Administrator. You must be a Master Administrator, Company Administrator, or invited accountant in order to use the export feature. To do this, just locate the program from a desktop shortcut, or through the programs in the Start menu and right-click on the program to select Run as administrator.
Now that you're logged in as the admin, you start exporting your data. I've got you an article that provides a detailed steps on how to export data: Export data file from QuickBooks Online to Desktop.
Please get in touch with me if you have any other questions while migrating data from QBO to QuickBooks Desktop. I'm always here to help you sort things out.

Hi @LaurieRCSmith,
Let me take care of this query for you. You'll still need a Windows computer since the first step you need to do is follow the steps provided by my colleague, @Charies_M.
Once your QuickBooks Online (QBO) company has been converted to QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), you need to convert it to Mac.
Here's how:
More details on this process can be found in this article: Export data file from QuickBooks Online to QuickBooks for Mac. You'll see a list of reminders before you start the conversion process.
Place your questions in the comments below, in case you have any. I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
For your case, your best option is purchasing a 3rd party migration service.
