The risk you’re running

Xero and QuickBooks don’t back up your data. Here’s what that means.

Cloud accounting platforms protect their servers — not your books. Understanding this gap is the first step to protecting your firm.

01

Your cloud vendor doesn’t protect your data

Intuit and Xero run world-class infrastructure — redundant servers, encrypted transit, 99.9% uptime SLAs. But their Terms of Service draw a hard line: they protect the platform, not your data. If a sync error overwrites your chart of accounts, if a disgruntled employee bulk-deletes invoices, or if a phishing attack compromises your login — the recovery is on you.

Intuit’s ToS

“Aggregate liability capped at the greater of 12 months of fees or $100.”

Xero’s ToS

“You are responsible for maintaining copies of your data. Xero has no obligation to restore deleted data.”

02

Deletion is permanent. There is no undo button.

QuickBooks Online has no recycle bin. Xero has no point-in-time rollback. When a record is gone, the audit log timestamps the loss — but it doesn’t recover it. And deletion isn’t always a finger slip. It’s a Shopify sync that misfires at 2 AM. A contractor with too much access. A cancelled subscription that triggers a data purge.

Integration syncShopify / Stripe / Gusto overwrites

Subscription cancelData purged after grace period
03

A backup you can’t restore is just a souvenir

Many firms think they’re protected because they export CSVs once a month. But a CSV dump strips relational links, drops attachments, loses tax mappings, and cannot be re-imported into a working organisation without weeks of manual reconstruction. A real backup isn’t a file sitting in a folder. It’s a guarantee that your entire ledger can be rebuilt into a live, functional system.

If it can’t be restored to a working ledger reconciled to the cent — it was never a backup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about backing up Xero, QuickBooks Online, and the WOW restore process.

WOW Backup and Restore is a dedicated cloud backup service that automatically captures your Xero or QuickBooks data every day and lets you restore it to a new organization in clicks. Built by accountants, trusted by firms across the USA, Canada, and Australia.
Neither platform restores customer data on your behalf. Xero's terms only commit to "taking reasonable steps to recover from their own backups," and Intuit places restoration responsibility on the account holder. WOW closes that gap with daily independent backups and a real restore service.
We connect to Xero via OAuth — no password is ever stored. Every day at 12:00 AM in your region we take a complete snapshot via the Xero API, including invoices, bills, contacts, journals, items, tax rates and attachments. Snapshots live in AWS storage in your country.
We connect to QuickBooks Online via secure OAuth, pulling a daily snapshot of your data via the QBO API. Attachments and audit history are fully included.
Yes. This is the single biggest reason firms choose WOW. We don't just dump a CSV — our team handles the restoration into a brand-new Xero or QuickBooks organization, with full audit trail. Your live org is never overwritten.
Once every 24 hours, at midnight in your region. You can roll back to any day within your retention period.
Pick the date you want to restore to. We handle the migration to a fresh organization, validate the result with you, and you switch over when ready. No technical knowledge required, no IT team needed.
In AWS data centres in your own region — Sydney for AU, Canada Central for CA, and us-east for the US. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Access is gated by mandatory 2FA, and every download is logged in an audit trail your team can review.
No. WOW charges one flat rate per active organization, the same price for every customer — no per-client surcharge, no per-user fees, no surprise overage. Attachments are included; you don't pay extra to back them up.
Yes. Connect either a Xero org or a QuickBooks Online account in under two minutes, and your first snapshot runs that night.
No. We deliberately built WOW for accountants and bookkeepers — not for engineers. Connecting an organization is a few OAuth clicks. If a restore is ever needed, our team does the work end-to-end.
