Back Up QuickBooks Files Online

  • To back up data files only, simply select the files or folders to back up using the Backup view. If your files are deleted or damaged, simply select the files or folders to restore using the Restore tab in the PC Data Backups software.
  • If QuickBooks has its own backup and recovery software utility and you are not using Easy System Restore, we recommend you back up QuickBooks to the hard drive using QuickBooks's built-in backup software and then back up the QuickBooks backup using PC Data Backups. To restore the data, reverse this process.
  • To assure all program settings are backed up, we recommend that you back up the entire Windows system using the 10 MB or 30 MB online backup solution. If your files are deleted or damaged, simply restore the Windows system using the Windows Easy System Restore tab in the PC Data Backups software.
