How to Secure backup of my QuickBooks company file

[pegeta45]

I'm looking to protect my QuickBooks data from loss or corruption. What are the recommended methods for creating secure backups? Should I use cloud storage, an external hard drive, or a combination of both? Additionally, how often should I update these backups to ensure the most recent data is protected? Any advice on encryption or other security measures would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

To secure a backup of your QuickBooks company file, go to "File" > "Back Up Company" > "Create Local Backup." Choose a location on your local drive, external storage, or cloud service. Set automatic backups for regular intervals. Ensuring you store backups in multiple locations, including off-site, adds an extra layer of protection for your data.
