Bad internet connections

Hi ParadiseTaveuni 

Unfortunately you can't do what you want to do easily - no internet simply means - no file.

MYOB had an earlier system where you could 'sort of do this' and when the internet came back on the system refreshed whichever was out of date - but I think Microsoft axed that ssytem.

The problem is the controlling thing here is "no internet" not low speed.

If you had low speed you could setup a RDP server on the main island and remote into it with a small bandwidth connection relying on the server to file connection doing the heavy lifting.

There is only one way to handle this unless your clients are paying you through MYOB and MYOB needs to update your file with payments - which would defeat this solution?

When the internet comes up - you download your file ( just use back it up and take it offline) - then you restore your file locally and run it locally - back it up and then when the internet comes back on line - restore to the cloud.

This is messy - not really a solution but is the only way to enable you to continue to work with it whilst the internet is out.

I am not sure why you went online because it, in itself, doesn't solve your problem - just complicates it.

However, there may be other reasons why you needed to go online  that aren't obvious but 'no internet for unknown periods' makes having your file online to be an incorrect solution.

Are there alternative internet solutions - is the internet wireless broadband; cable; ADSL - are there low speed alternatives - or other solutions where you could set up the main island server and remote into it???

Is StarLink available there?

I was running remote desktop ( terminal server) solutions on MYOB in the late 90s - long before MYOB admitted it could happen - RDP ( terminal Server)  is the solution but you need the internet even if only modem dial up.
