Solution: You can Rename the QuickBooks Backup Company file

It's important to note that renaming the backup company file does not affect the original company file or its data. The backup file serves as a copy of the company file at a specific point in time, and renaming it simply changes its identifying name for easier reference or organization purposes.

• Navigate to the folder or location where the backup company file is saved on your computer or external storage device.
• Locate the backup file you wish to rename and right-click on it. This will open a context menu on your screen with several different options.
• From the context menu, select the "Rename" option. Alternatively, you can also click on the backup file once to select it and press the "F2" key on your keyboard.
• Type in the desired new name for the backup company file. Ensure that the new name complies with the naming conventions of your operating system and QuickBooks.
• After entering the new file name, press the "Enter" key on your keyboard or click outside the file name field to save the new name.
• Verify that the backup company file now reflects the new name you provided. The file will now be identified with the updated name.
