ProSeries doesn't offer a cloud backup service for desktop users. However, you may choose any one of the many vendors that do offer cloud backups to back up your data.
We suggest performing a manual backup or scheduled backup when the program isn't in use and not using "Real-time Sync" backups. The information below is for backing up your data—not for running the program in the cloud, as this is only supported if your using Intuit Hosting. If your interested in running ProSeries in a hosted environment, learn about Intuit Hosting here.
