AccountRight 2026.2 – Why can I no longer back up my company file to my computer?
Since updating to AccountRight 2026.2, I’ve noticed that I can no longer save my company file backups to my local computer. The software now seems to only allow backups to be stored in the cloud, which doesn’t suit our business requirements.
For compliance and internal policy reasons, we need to retain local backups exactly as we have always done prior to this upgrade.
Can anyone explain why this change was introduced, and how I can continue saving backups locally?
Is there a setting I need to adjust, or has the option been removed entirely in 2026.2?
Any guidance or workaround would be greatly appreciated — we rely on local backups as part of our standard file management and audit processes.
Thanks in advance!
Hi CarolineG
You can continue to backup locally by changing your Security Preferences. Below is where to find out more about the new backup process. Hope this helps you.
