Hello there, Kathi Moss.
You'll need to remove your accountant's copy restriction first to resend a copy to your accountant. This way, QuickBooks will not prompt you that the Accountant Copy is already out. Removing your accountant's restriction means you are voiding the initial copy that was created. Before doing so, ensure to back up your company file first.
Then, you can now follow these steps on how to remove your Accountant's Copy Restriction:
Here's an article you can read for more details in removing your accountant's restriction: Remove the accountant's copy restriction.

I have this issue only I am the client in this scenario. When I create a new Accountant’s copy to send, does that mean my account has to go back and make any rework all of the changes that were made? I am so embarrassed that I overlooked the email with the link to her changes and want to have an idea of what extra work I’ve now caused.
Hi there, Hawkeye-81.
If you have made any changes on the new copy to be send, yes, your accountant has to make changes on your file.

Hello there, OBS-Dean ONLINE USER.
I appreciate you for spending your time and effort to figure out a way to create a backup copy in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
Since you're using QuickBooks Online, we are unable to manually create a backup copy. You'll want to invite your account to your QBO account. This way, your accountant will be able to help and manage your accounts, transactions, and keep everything accurate in your book.
Here's how:
Your accountant will receive an email invitation with instructions for signing into your company. Once they accept the invitation, they can access your QuickBooks company.
On the other hand, if you're using QuickBooks Online Advanced company, you can back up and restore your data. Please refer to this article for the complete details and steps: Find out what data you can and can’t back up.
