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.

     Note

8. Once the restore is complete, click Close.
