Hi Dean- Mike_MYOB
My understanding of this would be request a backup of your 2026.5 file from MYOB be sent to you. If you open the file yourself - you will be forced to upgrade it - then it's all over and you wont be able to restore it offline. In theory it should still be in the version you say if it hasn't been opened. @Mike_MYOB should be able to help with this (hopefully) I am based in Hamilton if that helps.
Thanks jenniek, yes that is exactly what I’m trying to achieve.
Mike_MYOB I still haven’t had any response from Support and I really need to get this moving now. I’ve deliberately left the file at 2026.5 so it doesn’t get upgraded, but the delay is now holding up normal accounting/GST work.
If you’re able to help get the 2026.5 backup request in front of the right person at MYOB, I’d really appreciate it.
Hi Dean- , sorry for the late reply
If you download AccountRight 2026.5 from our downloads page, then you will be able to take your own offline backup (the same way you always would have)
You can then restore that offline backup into AccountRight Server Edition
*When you download 2026.5, after you open it the first time. If you close and then reopen AccountRight, it will automatically update to the latest version. Make sure you do this in one go to avoid that.
