Restore backup from one QuickBooks online account to another

Let me point you in the right direction on how to transfer your QuickBooks Online (QBO) data to a different account, 000112.

We'll need to make a copy of your current QBO Advance company and use it to start a new one. Both companies must have QBO Advanced accounts to complete this task. The source company containing all of the data will be referred to as Company A, while  Company B is where we download the data.

To begin, let's create a copy of Company A. We’ll call this blank company file Company B (it should be empty) and then overwrite it with Company A’s information. Then, enable the Online Back-up & Restore feature for the companies you want to make a copy of and export data to.

Here's how:

1. In your company, head to the Gear icon ⚙ and choose Back up company under Tools.
2. You might need to sign in to your Intuit account and then choose Authorize to proceed.

Next, turn off automatic backup for Company B only. Then, deactivate all automation settings in both Company A and B. Follow the steps below to carry out the task:

1. Go to the Gear icon ⚙ and choose Account and settings.
2. Navigate to the Advanced menu on the left panel and click the Pencil for  Automation.
3. From there, turn off each option.
4. Click Save and Done. 

We'll now copy the data from Company A to Company B. For more information, see Step 3 in this article: Make a copy of your QuickBooks Online Advanced company.

However, if you're using other QBO versions, you have the option to utilize a third-party application to transfer the data to another account or export your lists. Here's an article that goes over the step-by-step process: Export reports, lists, and other data from QuickBooks Online.

In addition, we've compiled a list of frequently asked questions about importing data into the online program. The full details are available here. You'll then learn about the supported file formats and information types you can import, to name a few.
