Back up offline is not available v2026.5
When will this feature to back up offline be available for the latest version v2026.5. When searching for answers the useless chat response is to go to: Set Up, Preference and enable offline backup ...

Thanks Mike. Would you please guide me to the report packs instructions so I can check it out for a file I will be canceling this month? We didn’t upgrade the file to 2026.5 and have redownloaded 2026.4 but when attempting to access MYOB simply states we must upgrade b4 we can open the file.
Thanks BronwynHamster , you can find out about report packs here
If you have a backup of this file you can open it in server edition as an option.
We also updated PC edition to have a 'open previous version' button now when you try and open a file.
You should be able to do this until we have released 2026.6 as a way of opening and using 2026.4
I'm on Premier PC edition and it doesn't give me the Open Previous Version button? Has it perhaps not been rolled out yet? My updates are up to date. Build 2026.5.1.23. I'm guessing we can't work in 2026.4 because it would have the old tax tables, etc but we could use it to open a past backup we already have offline?
Hi Veejays , Im including a screenshot below
This is in the 'open a company file' screen that you will see the 'open previous version' button.
This is best suited for customers with an offline file and no subscription, it provides a short term option to essentially 'delay' moving online.
If you want to open a post offline backup, I would recommend installing Server edition from our downloads page, and this software is now exclusively offline only and will not have any further updates.
As long as the backup file you have is from an AccountRight version 2026.4 or earlier, this will open in server editionThank you. That helps for the past. Now if we can just get it reinstated for better security, moving forward... it will be perfect :)
