QuickBooks Data Recovery Tips
Article By: Kevin Harrolds
The easiest and cheapest QuickBooks data recovery effort is one that you can do yourself. Although you can visit the Intuit website and ask for technical assistance when your database is compromised, even they would tell you that regular backup is a must.
QuickBooks data recovery can be done by backup to any of the following storage modes:
The first two modes of storage, although they've grown somewhat obsolete, are still in use. The floppy, in particular, is still used by those who want a storage system that can be used and booted from any operating system.
Network backup is easy, but you can't keep a copy offsite. If you use your hard drive and it fails (a common occurrence) then you'd be in trouble. If a virus makes it way into your network, these two modes of backup may prove useless as well.
Choose storage that can be kept offsite. A writable disk is the most convenient and efficient mode of storage. It's highly portable but less prone to errors compared to a memory stick.
Whatever system you use, make sure that both hardware and software have no errors since it may be virtually impossible to get technical help to recover a database due to software or hardware issues.

Of course, you can pay for online backup services. Depending on what you need done, it can cost you anywhere from less than $100 to as much as $250. But given how easy it is to regularly backup your QuickBook files, there's really no reason you shouldn't do it yourself.
