Yeah, what was that like?

I’ve been running QB on a VM and giving my accountant access to the VM.

Wouldn’t mind paying a bit a month for a consistently updated cloud access.
If I could make sure I had a backup I could use offline in case of a 
problem/emergency.

I presume you mean you moved QB to the Intuit cloud.
How much does that cost?
They take care of backups etc I would assume?
How difficult was it to make the transition?
I presume your accountant can get right in without having to create and 
transfer accountant copies of the DB?

we moved ours to their cloud and haven't looked back.  much less clunky than 
running it on a local server etc.

YMMV

Probably a bad idea but any thoughts?

The specs from QB are:
