Some of the best defenses against QuickBooks file corruption

Brandon, MB––July 4, 2022: Data damage can occur when a QuickBooks connection has been lost or if an unrecoverable error appears and QuickBooks is forced to shut down.

A computer crash or improper computer shut down, power outage or power surge can also cause unexpected shutdowns while the system is running. Ignoring system requirements when installing applications can also cause significant damage with QuickBooks files, which is why it is important to ensure that the system meets the requirements for the relevant QuickBooks product and version.

Here are just some of the indicators of a damaged or corrupt QuickBooks Company File:

  • Errors like “A data problem prevents QuickBooks from continuing” in the Verify Data Utility or “Verify Target: Values in minor do not match major” on your screen or in the Qbwin.log file.
  • Faulty reports like Balance Sheets where the total assets don’t match the total liabilities and equity.
  • Missing transactions and entries from Lists.
  • Account names preceded by an asterisk (*), which were created by QuickBooks because the original accounts were missing
  • QuickBooks running slow, operations taking longer than normal
  • Paid bills and invoices showing as unpaid
  • Transaction History shows a negative balance.

The inbuilt Verify and Rebuild tool in QuickBooks are typically used when severe errors appear while using QuickBooks desktop and discrepancies are found on reports such as the bills or invoices posted with negative values. Other reasons include Deposited payments are displayed in the Payments to Deposit section, balance sheet reports not displaying all accounts, transactions are missing or displayed inaccurately in the window and when names are found missing from the lists.

One’s best defense again data corruption is to take multiple backups at different physical locations, Online backups eliminate threats to physical backups. Additionally, keeping tabs on the size of the QuickBooks Database File helps. If it does expand beyond its healthy limit, reduce it with the help third-party tools.
