Procedure
The appropriate procedure for migrating your data to QuickBooks data is given 
below-
Step 1- Create a Backup on your local storage of 
your QB data
The first step before data migration should always be creating a complete data 
backup. Data migration involves many risks, and your QuickBooks Data can get 
damaged during the transfer. As a preventive measure, you should always keep 
your business data backed up so that the backup file can be used to recover your 
data if it gets damaged in the process or due to any other reasons. The steps to 
backup your data file are given below-
1. Open QuickBooks on the server computer and approach the File menu.
2. Click on Utilities and select Stop hosting multi-user access to switch to single-
user mode.
3. Go to the File option again and tap the Backup Company option.
4. Select the Create Local Backup option.
5. In the next window, click on Local backup and then Next.
6. Click Browse to select a desired location to store the backup file on your hard 
drive.
7. Select the Save it now option and finally hit Next.
The backup file will be created in the location you chose.
Step 2- Begin the conversion and export of your 
data to QuickBooks Desktop
Unfortunately, there’s no way you can directly import your data from QuickBooks 
Online to Desktop. The adequate way to transfer your data is by converting it 
and exporting it to a QuickBooks desktop. You can use the technique given below 
to proceed with the data migration process-
1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online account and click on the Gear icon located 
on the top menu.
2. Select the Export data option in the drop-down list and type the reason you 
chose to migrate your data.
3. Click on the Continue option at the bottom.
4. Check all the data filled in the export window to make sure it is correct, and 
then click Export to Excel.
5. A Exporting from QuickBooks Online page will appear on the screen, tap 
continue to download.
6. Do as per the directions given by the software to export your data and wait 
until the process is entirely completed.
This procedure will help you move your data from QuickBooks Online to your 
Desktop securely without risk of loss or damage.
