The Complete QuickBooks Online Backup Solution: Secure daily backup and one-click restore.

Intuit disclaims liability for your data. Their backups are for their infrastructure, not your company file. WOW is a dedicated QuickBooks Backup Solution and third-party backup app that protects every QBO entity and rebuilds your company file from scratch when you need it.

Why backup QuickBooks Online

Intuit protects its infrastructure. You must protect your data.

QuickBooks Online's Terms of Service are explicit: "You are responsible for any lost or unrecoverable Content and for keeping backups." Intuit's platform backups cannot restore your company file, recover deleted records, or undo a bad import. This is the gap a dedicated QuickBooks Online data backup service exists to close. WOW gives you genuine QuickBooks Online Backup and Restore, the kind Intuit doesn't provide.

Accidental deletion — with no undo

Deleted customers, voided transactions, and bulk re-categorizations in QBO are permanent. There is no recycle bin, no undo for bulk operations, and no native way to recover a record once it's gone.

Third-party app data corruption

Apps connected via the QBO API (Shopify, Stripe, payroll tools) can overwrite or corrupt your data during a failed sync. Without an independent third-party QuickBooks backup in place, there is no rollback — you rebuild manually.

Rogue or departing employees

An employee with QBO admin access can delete invoices, alter payment records, or change vendor banking details.

Account takeover via credential theft

Ransomware campaigns specifically target accountants via phishing emails that impersonate Intuit. Once credentials are stolen, attackers can export or delete your entire QBO company file. There is no local copy to fall back on — your cloud data is only as safe as your login credentials.

Features

Every feature you need for QuickBooks Online Backup and Restore.

QuickBooks Online restore to a new company file

We rebuild your QBO company file from your automated backup, chart of accounts, customers, vendors, transactions, attachments. Not a CSV dump, a live, working QBO file. This is what real QuickBooks Online restore looks like.

How restore works

Attachments included

Every receipt, invoice PDF, and image attached to a QBO transaction is backed up and re-linked automatically. No extra cost, no manual export.

Multi-client dashboard

ProAdvisors can manage every client's QuickBooks Online backup from one WOW login. Add new clients via OAuth in seconds. Per-client backup status, audit log, and granular restore.

Multi-client dashboard

Audit trail & access log

Every backup, download, and restore is logged with timestamp, user, and IP. Defensible records for your firm, your E&O insurer, and your regulator.

50+ entity types backed up

Chart of accounts, customers, vendors, invoices, bills, payments, journal entries, credit memos, purchase orders, transfers, items, budgets, tax codes, exchange rates, everything the QBO API exposes. WOW doesn't cherry-pick — when it comes to QuickBooks Online backup data, every entity comes with us.

Immutable, encrypted storage

Backups are WORM-protected, they cannot be deleted or encrypted by ransomware. Stored encrypted in transit and at rest. Satisfies cyber insurance and FTC Safeguards Rule requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about backing up QuickBooks Online.

Intuit maintains server-level backups for platform-wide disaster recovery only, these cannot be used to restore your individual company file, recover deleted records, or roll back changes made by a bad import or rogue user. QBO Advanced has a limited built-in backup, but it excludes custom reports, bank rules, reconciliation history, payroll data, and more. QBO Simple Start, Essentials, and Plus have no native backup or restore at all. A separate QuickBooks Online backup app fills that gap.
Bank feeds require manual reconnection after a restore.
Intuit explicitly states: "You are responsible for any lost or unrecoverable Content and for keeping backups of any Content you provide." Their total liability for data loss is capped at the greater of fees paid in the prior 12 months or $100, even if you lose years of financial records.
No. CSV exports are flat snapshots, they lose relational data between records (e.g., which payment applies to which invoice, which bill is linked to which vendor). They cannot be imported back into QBO in a way that reconstructs full functionality. Reconciliation status, attachments, audit trail, and transaction relationships are all lost.
No, not in any way that protects your individual company file. Intuit maintains server-level snapshots for their own infrastructure disaster recovery. These cannot be used to restore your specific records, recover deleted transactions, or roll back a bad import. QuickBooks Online Advanced has a limited built-in backup, but it excludes custom reports, bank rules, reconciliation history, payroll, and more. For any other QBO plan, there is no backup or individual restore capability at all.
WOW is an automated QuickBooks Online backup app that sits on top of QuickBooks. Specifically: independent immutable (WORM-protected) backups that Intuit cannot modify, granular restore of individual records or date ranges (not just full-company rollback), full relational rebuild into a new company file rather than a flat CSV, automated re-linking of all transaction attachments, a complete audit trail of every backup and restore event, and documented compliance with the FTC Safeguards Rule, AICPA standards, and cyber insurance requirements.
WOW backs up every entity the QuickBooks API exposes: chart of accounts, customers, vendors, employees, items, invoices, bills, payments, journal entries, credit memos, purchase orders, deposits, transfers, time activities, tax codes, budgets, exchange rates, company settings, and all attachments (receipts, PDFs, images) re-linked to the correct transactions. This is what automating QuickBooks Online backups actually covers, not just the headline numbers.
Yes. The FTC Safeguards Rule (GLBA) requires accountants, bookkeepers, and tax preparers to implement a Written Information Security Plan that includes an independent data backup strategy. WOW's immutable, encrypted, independently stored backups satisfy this requirement. We also support IRS Publication 4557 and AICPA professional data protection standards.
