In today’s fast-paced business environment, data security is crucial. Losing financial data can be catastrophic, but QuickBooks Auto Data Recovery (ADR) offers a safety net. This built-in feature helps users restore lost or corrupted files, ensuring business continuity with minimal disruption.
What is QuickBooks Auto Data Recovery?
QuickBooks Auto Data Recovery (ADR) is a feature in QuickBooks Desktop that helps recover lost or damaged company files. It uses two main recovery methods:
- Auto-Replication of the File – QuickBooks creates a duplicate of the company file and automatically updates it.
- Transaction Log Restoration – If the main file is lost or corrupted, QuickBooks restores the last available transaction log to recover recent data.
How to Use QuickBooks Auto Data Recovery?
Here’s how you can recover your files using ADR:
Method 1: Using the ADR Version of the File
- Locate the ADR Folder – Navigate to the QuickBooks Auto Data Recovery folder within your company file directory.
- Find the .ADR Files – Look for a duplicate copy of your .QBW (company file) and .TLG (transaction log) files.
- Rename & Move Files – Rename the .ADR file to remove the "ADR" extension and move it to the original company file location.
- Open in QuickBooks – Launch QuickBooks and verify the recovered data.
