What Information Does the Integrated Quickbooks Backup Function Actually Back Up?

· ·

Over the time, the scope of the information that the QuickBooks backup function actually backs up has increased.  As a result, a backup file (.qbb) is often much bigger than the company file (.qbw) itself.

If you’re using an older version of QuickBooks and you’re relying on the integrated backup function as your sole backup, you should check the Help file included with your version to make sure important files are included.

For QuickBooks 2008 through 2010, here’s a list of what is included in a .QBB file created with the integrated QuickBooks backup function:

  1. The company file (.qbw)
  2. Letters and templates
  3. Logos and images
  4. Printer settings
  5. Spell check files, including the user dictionary
  6. Financial Statement Designer files, including client and data files
  7. The transaction log (.tlg) file
  8. ND files (.nd)
  9. Cash Flow Projector (.cfp) files
  10. Business Planner (.bpw) files
  11. Loan Manager (.lmr) files

For more information on what’s included in a backup, consult this Intuit knowledgebase article.

What Is the Connection Diagnostic Tool and How Do I Use It?

· ·

The QuickBooks Connection Diagnostic Tool is a program to troubleshoot errors you might receive when opening a QuickBooks company file (.qbw) in a multi-user environment.

It only works with QuickBooks 2008 or newer and Enterprise Solutions 8.0 or newer.

It’s designed to troubleshoot error codes H202, H505, and 6000 series errors, such as error code -6130,0.

You can download the QuickBooks Connection Diagnostic Tool directly from Intuit. Once installed on the same computer on which the company file is located, the tool can diagnose and, in some cases, repair connection problems.
