Hello, ojennifer. 

Yes, as much as possible, we recommend backing up your company file in-case something happens in the data. 

I'm adding this article for more detailed steps, and information's about backing up your company file: Back up your QuickBooks Desktop company file. 

For tips and other resources, I recommend visiting our website for reference: Self-help articles.  

Get back to me if there's anything else I can help with. I'm just a post away. Stay safe!
