Can we please have offline backups back? I don't like the idea of having everything in the cloud and having no control whatsoever over MY datafile.
Hey Marlyse
The offline version of MYOB AccountRight desktop is built on technology that no longer meets today’s performance standards and we have no plans to bring offline backup functionality back.
Moving online will:
- Improve performance, reliability and security, such as 2FA and regular online back-ups
- Ensure MYOB AccountRight is built on current, supported technology
- Deliver faster and more frequent improvements, including stronger AI capabilities
- Align with industry best practice and evolving needs of our customers
Our focus is shifting to investing in our next generation of online products and modern technology that reflects the evolving needs of our customers, delivering solutions that save time, increase efficiency, and improve collaboration between small businesses and their advisors.
Hi MYOB,
It seems you are conflating removal of the option for Offline Backups with "offline mode" and being a cloud based service. Offline Backups are required to have an external copy of our cloud based data that we can control. It is about risk mitigation. Removing the offline backup option increases the risk of losing data and gives us no control of that data. It is not good business practice.
If there is an alternative to only storing backups in your online cloud, please let us know.
