Automatically Backing Up QuickBooks Company Files
You can configure SmartVault to automatically back up a QuickBooks company file every X number of times that you close the QuickBooks company file. For example, you can configure SmartVault to automatically back up a QuickBooks company file each time you close the company file, or every third or fifth time that you close the QuickBooks company file.
To automatically back up a QuickBooks company file:
1. Install the SmartVault Desktop software. For more information, see “Understanding and Installing the SmartVault Desktop Software” .
2. Verify that you are signed in to SmartVault from the SmartVault Desktop software by completing the following steps:
