Ensuring Data Safety with RealBooks: Local Backups vs. Cloud Archiving

When it comes to managing and securing financial and business data, the choice between a local backup and cloud archiving can be a significant one. RealBooks, a robust accounting software solution, has taken substantial steps to ensure your data is protected, eliminating the need for a local backup according to our standard practices. However, for those concerned about keeping a local copy of their data, we address both the benefits and steps for downloading your data in Excel or Tally format.

Understanding RealBooks' Data Protection Method

RealBooks, as a comprehensive accounting solution, is designed with advanced data protection features. We provide continuous backups of your data and automatically archive them on the cloud. This means that your data is continually being safeguarded and can be restored to any point in time, ensuring maximum security and availability.

The Importance of Cloud Archiving

Cloud archiving offers numerous advantages over local backups. Firstly, it eliminates the risk of hardware failure that often accompanies local storage solutions. Secondly, it ensures that your data is accessible from anywhere, as long as you have an internet connection. Thirdly, it provides a secure and reliable backup method that is frequently updated and verified to ensure the integrity of your data.

Why Local Backups Are Not Required

We believe that the continuous cloud backups and periodic archiving offered by RealBooks are more than sufficient for most users. These features are designed to provide a robust and secure solution that minimizes the risk of data loss. However, we understand that the need for local copies may vary from industry to industry and from user to user, and we are always here to support our customers in their unique needs.

How to Retain a Local Copy of Your Data in Excel or Tally

If you do wish to retain a local copy of your data in Excel or Tally format for any specific reason, you can easily download your data. Here's how:

Step 1: Accessing Your Data in RealBooks

Login to your RealBooks account and navigate to the section where you find the data you want to export. Look for the option to either export or export to file. This feature allows you to download your data directly to your local system.

Step 2: Exporting to Excel

To export your data to Excel, select the appropriate data set and choose 'Export to Excel' or a similar option. This will generate an Excel file that contains a comprehensive and up-to-date version of your data. You can then save this file to any location on your local storage.

Step 3: Exporting to Tally

If you prefer to retain your data in Tally format, you can similarly export your data to Tally. Choose the 'Export to Tally' option if available, or use the export feature and transfer the data to Tally manually by inserting the data into the appropriate Tally files.

Conclusion

RealBooks prioritizes the safety and security of your data, providing continuous backups and cloud archiving. However, if retaining a local copy of your data in Excel or Tally format is essential for your business operations, our system offers simple and straightforward methods to download your data. Whether you rely on cloud archiving or decide to keep a local copy, we are here to support you and ensure your data is always readily accessible and secure.
