Mastermind Backup Online Backup can usually backup open files, but Quickbooks files use a special data caching process that means when the Quickbooks program is running you cannot simply select the Quickbooks data files, and get a consistent backup of the data (you can select those files, and Mastermind Backup will back them up, but this is not recommended).
Quickbooks files can be backed up correctly when the application is closed. Please note that this includes stopping the service of the accounting software, as background actions are constantly being done.
An alternative solution (and the one we recommend) would be to create backup files using "Quick books Backup Utility", then use Mastermind Backup to backup these backup files.
To Backup using Quick Books
1. Open Quickbooks. Select "File" and "Save Copy or Backup" from the menu.
2 Click the radial button beside "Backup Copy." Click the "Next" button.
3. Select "Local Backup." Click "Options."
4. Choose the "Browse" button. Select where to save your backup from the pane in the "Browse for Folder" window. Click "OK."
5. Click "OK" in the "Backup Options" window. Choose "Next.'
6. Select "Save it Now" from the "Save Copy or Backup" window. Type a file name for the backup in the area next to "File Name." Click "Save.".
