MYOB Backups
Hi
I've noticed that the latest version of MYOB 2026.5 no longer has the facility for a local backup.
This is problematic for some of my clients as they want to have their own backups on their lo...

I used to use the Server edition, so I could revisit previous backups/years - a must when dealing with auditors.
This morning MYOB refused to let me log on to the online file with a server edition - forcing me to install a client edition. Now I can no longer backup locally.
Sorry, not only do I not trust MYOB backups online, online backups don't provide me with the functionality I need. I could go into any number of scenarios where this is just bad. MYOB have shown time and again they do not really understand the user base requirements. Really - how is it hurting MYOB if a company wants their backups stored locally? Are they such a control freak, that they feel the need to insist on online backups? Instead of providing a service, they are playing god.
Forget disaster recovery planning and having alternate options in place for disaster scenarios. MYOB just blew that out of the water.
I'm sure everyone else already on this list has said something similar, but I'm adding my comment, so MYOB understand this is having a widespread effect.
Only thing achieved by removing offline backups is another push for MYOBs ever increasing slide into irrelevance for Australian Businesses
I access 3 company files 99% of the time online, but wish to keep backups offline for security and future reference
With MYOBs Disgraceful record of support and retrograde progress, how could I ever trust them with MY company back up files only being kept online
Please at least try and do at least one thing right and restore the offline back up option
