How often does the Online Back-up and Restore feature with QuickBooks Online Advanced run automatic backups?

The Online Back-up and Restore feature with QuickBooks Online Advanced is designed to ensure data safety and integrity by running full backups regularly and incremental backups in a timely manner. The correct choice indicates that the system performs full backups on a daily basis, which provides a comprehensive snapshot of the data at that point in time, and follows this with incremental backups every few hours. Incremental backups are essential because they capture changes made to the data since the last backup, thereby ensuring that any new information is secured without the need to repeat the entire backup process frequently. This setup strikes a balance between data security and system performance, allowing users to recover their data quickly and efficiently if needed.

The other options reflect different backup strategies that may not accurately represent the methods used by QuickBooks Online Advanced. For instance, entirely relying on incremental backups without daily full backups may risk losing significant data if the system needs restoration. Similarly, suggesting full backups less frequently than daily could leave substantial gaps in data security, while claiming full backups every few hours may not be practical and may stress system resources unnecessarily. Therefore, the approach of daily full backups combined with frequent incremental backups offers the optimal solution for data protection.
