How to Restore Backup for Earlier Quick Books Version ?

When QuickBooks makes a backup of your company file, it also compresses the file so it will take up less space on your hard disk. The internal component that compresses and decompresses files has changed. The new component provides a number of benefits, but the old and the new components are not compatible.

Once you make a backup with QuickBooks 2010 or later, such as when you upgrade QuickBooks and are asked to make a backup of your company file, you can no longer restore that backup with an earlier version of QuickBooks. This utility will take a company file backup created with QuickBooks 2010 or later, and create a restored company file that you can then open in an earlier QuickBooks version.

Procedure:

Choose File > Utilities > Restore Backup for Earlier Quick Books Version.

      Click the button next to the Backup filename field.

      Find and select a backup Quick Books company file (the filenames end with .QBB), and then click Open.

      Click the button next to the Restored filename field.

      In the Save in list, select the folder where you want to save the restored company file.

      Enter a unique name for the restored file in the File name field (you don't want to overwrite an existing company file), and then click Save.

      Click OK.

This saved file we called as special restore file and we can use this file to open in 2010 QB file and compare the transactions
