Protecting your Company Data
Imagine that you've set up your QuickBooks company file and have been entering transactions, paying your sales taxes and reconciling your accounts for the last six months. You come into work one morning, turn on your computer and it won't start! After talking with a technician, you find out that your computer cannot be repaired.
So what do you do? Well, you can purchase a new computer and you've got the original QuickBooks CD so you can re-install QuickBooks, but what about your company data that you've entered for the last six months? You'll need your QuickBooks backup! What's that ... you've never done a backup! You'll need to spend weeks re-doing all of the work you just did in QuickBooks over the past six months. This course will teach you how to create a backup so this never happens to you!
In this course, you'll learn how often you should do a backup and where you should save your QuickBooks backup. We'll even show you how to schedule a QuickBooks backup so your backup happens automatically - without much effort on your part. You'll also learn how to restore a backup if you ever need to. In our scenario, if a backup was made, restoring it would get the company up and running in QuickBooks in minutes.
Also, as part of this course, you'll learn how to create a QuickBooks portable file. A portable file is similar to a backup, but it is small enough that it can be emailed. We'll also show you how to restore a portable file.
Learning Outcomes:
Students who complete this course will know how to:
- Create and restore a QuickBooks backup file
- Schedule a QuickBooks backup
- Create and restore a QuickBooks portable file
