I have been using the backup service for MY DESKTOP for over five years. My subscription is current. Lately i have not been able to back up manually or scheduled. No matter how many times I click on the ICON, or try to access it through the  Back Up Company file in QB the BU wont load.

 

I also got a message saying that my INYUIT DP credentials need to be changed 

 

How can I do this without accessing the Data Protect

 

Any helop will be aprr

I can help you with resolving the error you have to back up with Intuit Data Protect successfully, @SelCBC.

 

You can run the IDP Diagnostic tool. This will detect any issues with your firewall or any third-party security software. 

 

To access:

 

  1. In the Windows System Tray, right-click the Intuit Data Protect (green padlock) icon.
  2. Choose About Intuit Data Protect.
  3. To open the Intuit Data Protect Diagnostics Tool, press Ctrl+F2 on your keyboard.
  4. Select Run Diagnostics.

 

Once done, try to make a backup with Intuit Data Protect.

 

If you're still having problems, consider the following solutions from this article:  Can't back up with Intuit Data Protect?.

 

Here's also a guide on how to view your backup history, change which files to back up, and update your email reminders: Set up Intuit Data Protect to back up files.

Thanks so much for your quick response. Somehow the IDT started to work again. So fingers crossed for now. 

Happy new Year
