Thank you for being such a loyal customer, Cyn-AR. 

 

I can see how this option would be useful to you. I'll share this idea with our developers. 

 

I would suggest creating a portable company file. This type of file is the compact copy of your data. That way, you'll have the option to save this data into an external or flash drive. Also, only the Admin can create this file.

 

Here's how to create a portable file:

  1. Go to the Filemenu, and then select Create Copy.
  2. In the Save a Copy or Backupwindow, select Portable company file.
  3. Choose the location where you want to save your portable copy.
  4. Click Save, and then OK.

If you wish to restore this file, please follow these steps:

  1. Go to the File
  2. Then, selectOpen or Restore Company.
  3. Select Restore a portable file, and then select Next.
  4. Click where you stored your backup copy.
  5. Then, Next.
  6. Choose the location of your copy.
  7. Click Save.

You can check this reference about creating and restoring this type of file: Create or restore a QuickBooks portable company file.

 

I'm always around if there's anything else that I can help you with.
