Restoring QuickBooks Company Files

When you restore a backup of a QuickBooks company file, SmartVault uses the last known location of that company file on your computer as the default restore location. If SmartVault has never worked with that particular company on the current computer, it will default to the "Company Files" folder. You can also choose an alternate location on your local computer if needed.

How to Restore a QuickBooks Company File

  1. Install the SmartVault Desktop software on all necessary computers in your environment where employees use SmartVault tools like the Inbox, Mapped Drive, and Toolbar.
  2. Sign in to SmartVault using the SmartVault Desktop software.
    • Open the SmartVault Launchpad, and click Sign in.
    • When prompted, enter your email and password to sign in.

      Note

    Once you select the company file, the Destination field displays the location where the file will be restored. If you prefer a different location, you can change it here.

  7. Click Restore to begin the restoration process.
  8. Once the restore is complete, click Close.
