Thumb Drive Backup?
Why can't I backup my MYOB Accountright file to a thumb drive this morning? It just updated to the new 2026.2.1.5 version and suddenly, no ability to back up to a thumb drive...it want's to back up ...

Hi PF_1,
Great question! With the recent AccountRight update, there are now two different backup modes for online files:
1. Online (cloud) backups – automatic, encrypted backups stored securely on MYOB’s servers, designed so you can restore the file in a few clicks if something goes wrong.
2. Offline/local backups – the traditional .zip backup saved to your PC or USB. You can still use these if you need a file that other tools or plug‑ins can read.
At the moment, cloud backups are intended for restore inside AccountRight, not for downloading a separate backup file. If your plug‑in reads a local backup file, you’ll need to keep using offline/local backups for that workflow.

Earl
Hi Earl
Our option to save our file locally has disappeared from the preference menu. How to get it back please? We need a daily back up of our file
