Can we take Local backup in QB plus account?

Welcome to the Community, @hani-eatholding-. I'd be glad to share some details about creating a backup in QuickBooks Online (QBO) Plus account.

 

There's no need to get a copy of your data on QBO Plus because QuickBooks Online automatically backs your data up with the same level of security used by banks and financial institutions. Please know that the security of your data is our priority. That's why we've made sure and invested a great deal of thought and resources into ensuring that our system is reliable.

 

I recommend visiting this article to learn more about how QBO keeps your data safe and secure: Do I need to back up my data with QuickBooks Online?

 

If you still want to get a copy of your QBO files, you can consider using a third-party app and then integrate it with your QBO account. To begin, here's how:

 

  1. Access your QuickBooks Online company file.
  2. On the left navigational bar, go to Apps.
  3. In the search bar, type the word "Backup" as your keyword.
  4. Look for the app that best suits your needs.
  5. Select the app, and then click Get app Now.

 

For visual reference, feel free to refer on the screenshot I've attached below.

You can also consider manually exporting your data out of your QuickBooks Online Plus. If you wish to continue, refer to this article for further guidelines on how you can export your data out of your QBO Plus company file:  Export data, reports, lists, and more from QuickBooks Online.

@hani-eatholding- 

There is no such "file" in cloud-based applications.. You can only export your data out to CSV/XLS or utilize a backup restore app like this one.
