It’s time for another one of Murph’s App Compares. This time, Murph has done a deep dive into six Backup Apps for QuickBooks Online.
Top ProAdvisors have asked repeatedly over the last two years for a comparison of the available backup apps that can be used with QuickBooks Online. That's why you won't want to skip this ‘Be Insightful’ Premium Content webinar is being held on Wednesday, February 5, 2025, at 2:00 PM Eastern Standard Time.
Well even though there is only one backup solution listed at Intuit's QuickBooks Online (US) App store, Murph has identified and evaluated six (6) Backup Apps for QuickBooks Online. He also has found a seventh solution that is really designed to allow MSPs, technical consultants or advisors specializing in data protection to perform multiple backups of SaaS solutions of all sorts including QBO.
As a part of Murph's research he identified thirty-eight features and functions covering core backup functionality, backup file retention and off-boarding, recovery capabilities, data protection capabilities, and security and compliance standards. Each of the six Backup Apps has been analyzed to determine what they offer in the way of these functions, and it's a fairly mixed bag.
Presently, forty (40) objects, including lists, transactions, and other data objects, can be backed up from QuickBooks Online files according to the Intuit Developer website. Murph has gleaned each of the six Backup Apps for its ability to capture and restore these forty objects. You may think they all back up everything, but guess what? They don’t! You may even be surprised by which ones don't.
Of course, in order to create a composite score by which each of the six Backup Apps can be ranked, Murph has applied his nine (9) App Comparison criteria designed to evaluate any category of app. These are the same evaluation criteria he has been using for all of the various App Comparisons he has done for "Be Insightful."
In addition, Murph will give you some last-minute add-on information about a relatively new Backup solution designed for application or technology solution providers looking for a tool that allows them to schedule multiple client backups and even generate monthly invoices for those clients based on their backup-related activities (backups, reviews, restores, etc.) performed.
