How do I create a local backup?

Thank you for checking with us today, driseling.

You can create your local company backup file by going to your Settings. And I can help you with that.

Beforehand, the steps we'll be performing are only available for QuickBooks Online (QBO) Advanced.

Let me show you how: 

1. After routing to Settings, select Back up company. 
   Reminder: You might need to sign in with Intuit account, then choose Authorize to proceed.
2. Select Add Company, then click the Search for a company dropdown menu, and select the company you want to back up.
3. Choose Next, then Connect.
   -if you have multiple companies to back up, repeat steps 2 to 4.
4. Find the company you want to back up.
5. Choose the Action dropdown menu, then select Run a full backup.

I'm just one post away if you need additional assistance managing your company files. Keep safe and enjoy the rest of the week!
