How long does the migration take?

Connecting WOW takes about 30 seconds per Xero organisation. The initial sync happens in the background and usually completes within a few hours depending on the size of your ledger.

Do I need to export data from Redstor manually?

No. WOW connects directly to your Xero API to pull down your live data and establish a new, permanent baseline. You don't need to mess with CSV exports.

Can WOW backup non-Xero data?

Currently, WOW specialises in financial ecosystems. We support Xero and QuickBooks Online. We do not back up generic Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace data.
