Quickbooks backup help

slipd · 26 Apr 2011 at 20:09

Hey guys,

Is there a way of backing up Quickbooks' data without using the application?

Cheers!

Yep - just a local install. I ended up going on the Quickbooks support site and I was advised to copy the '.qbw' file/s. The QB app itself won't load atm; it's installed on a failing raid

Is it just a case of importing the .qbw files back into the program when I have everything back up and running again do you know?

Cheers.

.qbb files? Should I be looking for them too :confused:

Cheers mate.

No worries! Thanks mate.

Right, I think the data in the .qbw (I was also given a .qbb file but that gives similar problems) is corrupt

This happens after the software loads and I try and load their .qbw file: http://img545.imageshack.us/i/mainbk.jpg/

and these two occur when I try and load the .qbb file: http://img850.imageshack.us/i/79260799.jpg/ + http://img687.imageshack.us/i/79817404.jpg/

Really starting to worry now, any ideas?

How can I verify / rebuild the data when I can't even access the file? :eek:
