What is QuickBooks Auto Data Recovery?QuickBooks comes with a popular feature known as ADR or Auto Data Recovery. It can also function as the QuickBooks Auto Data Recovery tool. Using this, you can prepare your company file’s backup for the purpose of recovering the lost financial data as well as the QuickBooks files which have been harmed.
Sometimes, losing crucial files can affect your business. When you have access to such a tool or feature, recovering the files and data can be possible. Using the tool, .QBW.tlg or QuickBooks Transaction Log File and .QBW or QuickBooks Company File can also be duplicated for auto-recovery. With the QuickBooks auto-recovery files, you can resume your business operations.
What Does QuickBooks Auto Data Recovery Do?The auto data recovery tool helps in executing internal diagnostics on your QuickBooks company file. It will be helpful to know that this feature can take approximately an hour to do so after the file has been launched by you. In case your company file opens and clears the tests, this feature will identify whether the file is fine. After that, one backup copy of your company file will be made. You can find this file in the Auto Data Recovery folder. Starting from this point, once the first copy has been created for it, the transaction log of auto data recovery will include every transaction which has been added to your file.
Then after a period of 12 hours of making the first copy, another copy of your file will be made. However, you will be required to keep the software open. On the off chance that the file is closed, the copy will be made when QuickBooks is launched the next time. This means that two copies of your file will be prepared. The initial file will be as old as 12 hours while the second one will be 24 hours old. Later, the older copy will be removed.
