 @Robyn Kelly (Partner), We love having you here, and thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

If the TLG file is large due to the file not having gone through any recent backup that is set to 'Complete verification", then a large QBW + a large TLG will result in a larger QBB, which takes longer to go through to completion.

A backup done by setting the Backup Options to "No verification" will allow for the creation of a compressed (QBB) backup file. It will include inside that backup file both the company data file (QBW) and the transactions log file (TLG).

You do not have to first make a QBB backup on the Hosted platform, simply download a copy of the QBW file from the Hosted platform to your local computer.

Downloading the QBW from the Hosted platform, means that you do not download the corresponding TLG file.

When you first open the data file on the local computer, a fresh new and tiny TLG file is created as a placeholder.

Then on your local computer you can perform the Verify Data operation to see if there are any detectable

issues.

Therefore, when a backup is done on the local computer, it will initially not include any large TLG files.

This is a good topic, we've had an employee leave recently so we will utilise some of these steps.

Thank you.

Love your work on this @Robyn Kelly (Partner)! 🙌

A very important topic for users to keep in mind, particularly when it comes to data security.

Thanks so much for participating in #TipTuesday 🙂

Happy Tuesday everyone.

My name is Robyn Kelly, I have been a Reckon Accredited Partner for 24 years and a BAS Agent for 13 years, since it's inception.

I have recently come across small businesses needing to revoke MFA's for staff who have left employment. My Tip for this Tuesday is to make sure you have processes in place for when a staff member leaves your employment; to revoke the employee’s MFA for Reckon Hosted & / or Reckon Portal and change passwords before staff members leave, so they are no longer able to access your businesses financial data once they have left.

Instructions to revoke MFA Hosted:

Instructions to revoke MFA Reckon Portal:

Instructions to change the password for users in Reckon Hosted:

Instructions to remove shared access to Reckon Portal:

With MFA now in place for many programs and online logins there may be other instances to remove employees; for example ATO Online Services and banking sites, if they have access to lodging forms to the ATO or your banking data. I am sure there are many more examples to include in these processes when off boarding an employee on resignation / termination.

Have a great Tuesday everyone
