There is a back-up system built into QuickBooks Online Advanced, and/or a 3rd party app called REWIND that can help you do this but is not the same as QuickBooks Desktop. The problem is you cannot do “temporal” backups to have a snapshot of the accounting database at a point in time, useful for audits and fixing issues when users mess up the accounting. No need for “security backups” because Intuit has world class secure servers with redundant backing up of the data.The QuickBooks Online integration ecosystem is much larger than the QuickBooks Desktop at this point most new app developers only built integrations to the Online version. Better integration with 3rd party apps, because is cloud-based, a lot of these integrations happen behind the scenes with no user-input needed, which really speeds up the data sync across apps.It has a tablet and smartphone native app, so you can do a lot of transactions and reports on the go, but certainly not as powerful as working on a computer’s web browser yet.Native cloud-based application so can be accessed from anywhere with an internet and any computer (PC, Mac, Chromebook, etc…) with a web browser.
