I appreciate your diligence in ensuring the safety of your important data, Dan. Let me further share with you some information about Intuit Data Protect and its ability to back up your attachments folder.

Yes, Intuit Data Protect does back up your attachments along with your QuickBooks files. However, whether your attachment folder is backed up depends on how you set up your Intuit Data Protect.

If you’re unsure whether your attachments folder is included in the backup, you can check your backup settings to see if you added the folder for backup. Here’s how you can do that:

1. Open Intuit Data Protect.
2. Select Change backup settings.
3. On the Select QuickBooks Data window, view the files and folders to see if your attachments folder is included.
4.  For Entire PC Users, after choosing Continue, verify whether your attachments folder is included in the backup.

If you find that your attachments folder is not included, you can easily add it from your backup set.
