This is the same file that intuit uses if you ask for “data recovery.” It is advisable to make a verified backup within QuickBooks on a monthly basis.
Choose a Hard-wired network over wireless- If you have a wireless network; it increases the risk of dropped connections, which will create problems with your data file. These problems can be avoided more stringently in a hard-wired network.
