Setup: Ability to take backup of data

Having either (or both) offline and backup functionality added to LiveAccounts would be great points of difference for a web-browser based accounting package.

 

MYOB prides itself with the AccountRight Live software being the only cloud accounting package which can be used offline should the MYOB server go down or the internet connection lost.  This needs to be applied to LiveAccounts.

 

A lot of people won't use online only software because

 

The LiveAccounts servers have gone down on multiple occasions stopping us from accessing our financial data and we have no idea how long the outage lasts until the solution/(s) have been found.  

 

If a offline or backup functionality was added to LiveAccounts then we'd still be able to access our accounts when we need to.  Being locked out of your accounting file for hours is not acceptable.

    We have many clients that have MYOB Essentials but are concerned that they cannot back up the file.

     

    Would be a great option to have and especially if the client cancels subscription as they can no longer access their data.

  • MYOB Essentials can't be restored to a certain point at the moment.

    It would good to have a rewind or go back button in case of deleting an entry(s) in error.

    This would be brilliant for the tax agents to be able to keep a file at the date the information was taken, to track changes after the exports have been done.
