We can run the Auto Data Recovery (ADR) tool in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) to retrieve your lost data. Before we begin, you'll want to update the system to ensure you have the latest features and fixes. I'll show you how.
Go to the Help menu.
Select Update QuickBooks Desktop.
Click the Update Now tab.
Select Get Updates.
When the download finishes, restart QuickBooks.
Then accept the option to install the new release.
When done, you can now run the ADR tool to retrieve your data. You might also want to work with your IT expert for further guidance and to ensure a smooth process.
