Restore Quickbooks Backup (.qbb)

How to Restore a QuickBooks Backup on Your Computer
Step Action
1 Open QuickBooks on your computer.
2 Go to the File menu and select "Open or Restore Company".
3 In the new window, select "Restore a backup copy" and click "Next".
4 Choose "Local backup" and click "Next".
5 Navigate to the location where your QuickBooks backup file (.qbb) is stored.
6 Select the backup file and click "Open".
7 In the "Save Company File as" window, choose where you want to save the restored file.
8 Give the file a name (or keep the existing name) and click "Save".
9 If prompted about overwriting an existing file, confirm that you want to proceed.
10 Wait for QuickBooks to restore the backup. This may take a few minutes.
11 Once restoration is complete, QuickBooks will open the restored company file.
Note: Always ensure you have a current backup before restoring an old one. Restoring a backup will overwrite any changes made since that backup was created.
