The option is no longer there because offline backups is no longer an available option in MYOB AccountRight. From 17 June 2026, MYOB AccountRight desktop app (PC edition) will only work with company files stored online. Offline mode will no longer be available, and from version 2026.5 (PC edition) you’ll no longer be able to open, edit or save files stored locally (in My Library or Network Library).
*You'll still be able to view offline backups in previous AccountRight versions for audit requirements
AccountRight desktop isn’t going anywhere. The only change is that your company file will need to be online to receive product and security updates, support, and online services.
Our company file IS stored online. We want to store a backup elsewhere.. not on your server for security purposes. A Backup should never be held on the same server... it defeats the purpose of having a backup. Your Development Team needs to reinstate the option to save a backup to the location of our choice. We're not taking our data offline, we are just storing it outside your server.
