Update Vs Upgrade QuickBooks 2019

While updates are released regularly throughout the year, upgrades are released only once per year. Updates are small improvements or bug fixes, while upgrades change the entire data structure and introduce a variety of new tools and features.

Users who purchased a one-time license can install all the updates for free, but need to purchase the activation keys when they upgrade to a newer version. So if you’re upgrading to QuickBooks 2019 from a previous version of QuickBooks Desktop, then you should purchase a license before you begin to upgrade your accounting software.

What to do before Upgrading to QuickBooks Desktop 2019?

Even though you may be in a hurry to get your hands on some of the new features in QuickBooks Desktop 2019, you should wait and create a backup of your company file so that you can have a restore point that works with the previous version once the company file is upgraded as well.

When you import the company file into the later version of QuickBooks, the company file is upgraded by the accounting software before it is imported. This happens because of structural change in the database to make data processing more robust and efficient.

But before you begin the upgrade process, QuickBooks will prompt you to create a backup of the company file. You can choose to do so at that point. However, we always recommend our users that they create a backup file and store it on a different device to ensure protection of their data.

QuickBooks Desktop Company File Backup

The backup file is of substantially lower size than the company file. Most of the inessential data is stripped so that users have access to a restore point that can be used to quickly recover lost data.

When users restore a backup file, QuickBooks creates a new company file using the data available in the backup file.

Note: you shouldn’t use a backup file to share data with your accountant. If you do share accounting data with your accountant, then create a portable version of the software.

The steps to create a backup file in QuickBooks desktop are provided below:

• Launch QuickBooks Desktop.
• Log into an admin account.
• In the File menu from the top bar, choose Switch to Single-user mode. You don’t have to switch modes if you’re already in the single-user mode. Simply move to the next step.
• In the File menu from the top bar, choose Backup Company, then Create Local Backup.
• Click on Local Backup, then Next.
• Click on Browse, and choose the Directory in which to store the program files. Click on Open once you’ve selected the directory.
• Enter a number for the total number of backups to keep in the current folder. If you specify 2, then QuickBooks will only keep 2 of the latest backup files and delete the previous ones.
• After scanning the company file, QuickBooks will initiate the creation of the backup file as soon as you click on Ok, then Save it now.
• Click on Next when the process is over.

The backup process doesn’t take long. You should have a complete backup file within the next 5 minutes. You can then transfer the backup file to a USB device to store it separately.

Many online services offer cloud storage facilities that you can rely on to store your backup files. Storing on a cloud platform ensures that your backup file is safe.

If you want to restore a backup file, then you can find the steps for the same in the FAQ section at the end of this post.
