Can I backup my QB online and restore my backup to QB desktop?

Hello and welcome to the QuickBooks Community! I'll go over how to export from QuickBooks Online to QuickBooks Desktop.

 

There's no direct way to move your data from QuickBooks Online to Desktop. However, you can export and convert your QBO data to QuickBooks Desktop. 

 

You can find a third-party app that will convert your data to QuickBooks Desktop in your case. To find one, navigate to the Apps menu on the left-hand side. However, I cannot promise that you will be able to use the desktop version to its full potential in your region.

 

If you need them in the future, you can look through the QuickBooks Desktop articles. These articles can guide you and help you with navigation using QuickBooks Desktop.

 

If you have any other QuickBooks-related questions, please post them in the Community. We are always available and eager to assist you with your inquiries. Have a wonderful day.

First step, convert your data from QBO Global version to QBO US version. Then you can convert data to QB Desktop US version as the next step, You can buy a 3rd party service to convert data from QBO Global version to QBO US version. Another option, use a migration tool. i.e TPExporter for Online, TPImporter for Desktop

Hi there, OWAIS.

 

I'm here to provide information about converting your QuickBooks Online (QBO) global to the US version.

 

Once you sign up for a new account, you can export your data from your QBO global and manually import it to the QBO US version.

 

Although we don't have a direct way of transferring your data over, you can use a third-party application for the migration either way from QBO to QBO or from Excel to your QBO US account, or you can also enter the data manually. You'll want to search for one online.

 

Also, there are hundreds of third-party applications that can be integrated into QuickBooks. You can go to the Apps menu on your account. From there, you'll see some of the lists of supported third-party applications.

 

To know more about exporting your data from QBO, check out this article: Export data, reports, lists, and more from QuickBooks Online.

 

In case you need it, I'll add this article tackles setting up your QBO US account once you're ready: Getting Started in QuickBooks Online.

 

Please let me know if you have additional questions about this or anything else. I'm always here to assist. Take care.
