How to Setting Up Automatic Backup in Quickbooks

The Automatic Backup works on saving the file for n number of times, which means that you can assign Automatic Backup to QuickBooks by configuring its settings. For example, say, you close your company file for four times and QuickBooks creates a backup on the fourth closing without any input from your side.

You will need to go through these steps to set up the automatic backups:

Total Time: 9 minutes

Step One

Open your QuickBooks Desktop and browse to File Choose Save Copy or Backup. A new window opens which reads ‘Save Copy or Backup.’
Step Two

Go to Backup Copy and click on it. Proceed to Next.
Step Three

If you have not configured already, then go to Options to set your Backup Defaults (i.e. the location you want to save your backup at) and proceed to click Next.
Step Four

Choose Select Location or Use This Location.
Step Five

Proceed to click
