Hi everyone,

I’m currently hosting my QuickBooks company files on a rack server, and I want to make sure I have a rock-solid backup solution in place. As you know, QuickBooks data is critical, and losing it is not an option.
I’m looking for reliable, easy-to-implement backup solutions that work seamlessly with rack servers https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/c/servers-storage/servers/racks/ . Here are some specific questions I’d love your input on:

1. Backup Software: What backup software do you recommend for QuickBooks files? I’ve heard of tools like Acronis and Veeam—are they overkill, or should I consider them?

2. Backup Frequency: How often should I back up QuickBooks files when hosting them on a rack server? Daily, hourly, or in real-time?

3. Testing Backups: How often should I test my backups to make sure they’re working properly? Is there a best practice for doing this?

I’d love to hear what solutions have worked for you and any lessons you’ve learned along the way. If you have experience setting up a robust backup system for QuickBooks on a rack server, please share your insights.

I’m sure others here would find it helpful too!
Thanks in advance for your help!
