Hi brenda21,

 

Welcome to Community!  Backing up your data in QuickBooks Desktop is a great way to restore your data, when issues arise.  I'd be glad to provide more information here!

 

Although there are some differences between QuickBooks Desktop Canada and U.S., you'll still be able to backup your company file, whether you prefer this to be automatic or manual.  In addition, you can set up reminders.  To see when you last backed up your company file, go to the File menu, then hover over Back up Company.  This will show you the time and date at the top of the menu.  To learn more about backing up your company file, and how to edit your backup settings, click here.

 

Should you require additional assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us.  It would be our pleasure to guide you through the process, and ensure you're able to accomplish your QuickBooks goals without delay!

 

Feel free to reach back out if you have any other questions.  Wed be happy to help!
