Hi Leonard, thank you for clearly explaining your situation. Let me address each of your concerns so we can help you maintain your QuickBooks data moving forward.
For your first question, even though the later backup completed successfully, it’s still a good idea to be cautious. A successful backup confirms that QuickBooks was able to copy the file, but it doesn’t guarantee that every underlying data issue has resolved.
An unrepaired data integrity error indicates that a portion of the company file remains uncorrected and may affect certain links or transactions, potentially leading to errors or discrepancies in reporting over time.
Contacting our live support team is the appropriate next step to address this issue. Since it is currently the weekend and support is unavailable, I recommend utilizing our QuickBooks Rebuild Data and File Doctor tools in the meantime to repair your company file. For guidance, you can refer to Solutions 1 and 2 in this article: Fix data damage on your QuickBooks Desktop company file.
On your second question, yes, unresolved data errors can interfere with a conversion from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online. Before you start any migration, it’s essential to confirm that your Desktop file is as clean and error‑free as possible.
Lastly, regarding your third question, QuickBooks Desktop does not provide a direct, user-facing “audit trail” or detailed log specifically for successful and unsuccessful database repair attempts. The system generates technical debugging files in the background, but these are not designed as a clear, accessible history of each fix for end users.
Please let me know if you have any further questions or need clarification. I'm here to help.
