Everything About QuickBooks Auto Data Recovery
In scenarios where traditional data recovery methods are time-consuming, QuickBooks Auto
Data Recovery becomes a swift solution. This feature can recover all but the last few hours of
transactions by utilizing both the Company file and Transaction Log file copies.
While Intuit Data Services can assist with recovery, it often involves significant downtime. ADR,
on the other hand, aims to expedite the process by restoring lost transactions using the current
Transaction Log file and a Company file copy.
However, it's crucial to employ ADR only after exhausting appropriate troubleshooting steps.
This blog underscores the significance of ADR as a faster data recovery option, emphasizing
its role in mitigating the impact of data loss or corruption in QuickBooks Desktop. For further

Points To Consider Before Using QB Auto Data Recovery Tool
Consider the following aspects before utilizing the QB Auto Data Recovery Tool:
The Auto Data Recovery tool is compatible only with QuickBooks Pro, Premier, or
Enterprise Solutions for Windows.
The tool is not accessible in the Accountants Edition of QuickBooks.
Optimize tool efficiency by using the latest updated version of QuickBooks.
Ensure that the file size for backup does not exceed 1.5 Gigabytes, as QuickBooks
cannot generate the Auto Data Recovery file for larger sizes.
Methods To Recover Data in QuickBooks
You can use two methods to recover data in QuickBooks one by using the original QBW
file and other by using the ADR files.
Solution 1: Use Original TLG and QBW Files
Recovering recent transactions involves utilizing the original Transaction Log (.TLG) file
in conjunction with the .QBW.adr file. Follow these steps:
Access the location of your company file and locate the corresponding .tlg file with
the same name as your company file.
If unable to identify the .TLG file, show file extensions in File Explorer settings.
Copy the identified .TLG file and paste it into the QBTest folder.
Now go to the QuickBooksAutoDataRecovery folder, copy the .QBW.adr file, and
paste it into the QBTest folder.
Change the name of the .QBW.adr file by deleting .adr at the end.
Open QuickBooks and open the company file saved in the QBTest folder.
Verify transactions in the account register.
Go to ‘File,’ then ‘Utilities,’ and Verify Data to ensure the data integrity of the recovered file.
If the copy is satisfactory, relocate the damaged company file, transferring the copy from
QBTest to the original location.
Solution 2: Utilize ADR Version of .QBW and .TLG File
Recovering recent transactions involves utilizing the ADR versions of both
.QBW and .TLG files. Follow these steps:
Make a new folder, ‘QBTest’ on your Desktop.
Access the QuickBooksAutoDataRecovery folder in the location of your
company file.
Look for .TLG.adr and .QBW.adr files with the same name as your company
file.
If unable to identify these files, show file extensions in File Explorer
settings.
Copy .TLG.adr and .QBW.adr files, paste them into the QBTest folder.
Remove .adr from the file names in the QBTest folder, resulting in .qbw and
.tlg files.
Open QuickBooks and the company file from the QBTest folder, verifying
transactions in the account register.
To ensure data integrity, select ‘File,’ then ‘Utilities,’ and ‘Verify Data.’
If the copy is satisfactory, relocate the damaged company file and transfer
the copy from QBTest to the original location.
