This file name represents a date plus a sequential counter: The backup files that are created by the scheduled backups have a specific file name format. If you are unsure of your situation, please contact Individual Point of Sale support at either (570)906-8598 option #3 or send an email to If you use item pictures, specify whether they should be included in the backup.


We highly recommend that you schedule the backup to take place at a specific time, instead of once a day when the server workstation exits Point of Sale. This way you have two different points in time backups of your data for one day.

Individual Point of Sale highly recommends that you always perform both the Scheduled Backup and the End of Day Process Backup each business day. Note: In a multi-workstation configuration, backups can only be performed from the server workstation. If you have more than one workstation using QuickBooks Point of Sale Desktop, we normally configure the backups to be saved to the "QB Backup" folder on another workstation other then the server workstation (for redundancy purposes). If you only have one workstation using QuickBooks Point of Sale Desktop, the backups will be saved to the following location on that workstation "C:\QB Backup". It also allows Individual Point of Sale to standardize our offsite backup services (optional service) to help you protect your QuickBooks Point of Sale Desktop company information. This allows all of our customers to always know where the backups for their QuickBooks Point of Sale Desktop company are located. Individual Point of Sale always configures the backup to go to a folder named "QB Backup" on a particular workstation. The different backup types are listed below. QuickBooks Point of Sale Desktop has three different backups that can be performed.
