When you restore a company backup file (QBB) the information contained within will be extracted and converted to a regular company data file (QBW).


Click Restore a backup copy (.QBB) and then click Next.



The Restore From window will be displayed with the default folder location being the Hosted B: drive





From there you can locate and select the backup file that you want to restore.

If needed, click the Look in drop-down arrow and navigate to a sub-folder where you saved the backup file.

(for example, MyCompanyName (Backup).QBB).

(Note: QBB and QBM files that are uploaded from your local computer to the
 hosted platform will automatically be placed in the B:(Backup) drive.     Select the backup file that you want to restore and click the Open button.  

Step 5: Choose the destination folder location 

In the Restore Backup: To Location window, click Next. 

When the Restore To window opens you can choose to simply restore to the root of the Hosted Q:\ drive.

If you prefer that the resulting company data file ends up in a sub-folder or a shared folder shortcut location, then use the up-down scroll bars to locate that folder.



The resulting company data file and all of its related files will be stored in this location.

You can also change what the resulting restored company file will be called.
