The backup feature is intended more for peace of mind in terms of business continuity. With a universal set of CSV files we were giving users the option to take their data elsewhere should they wish.
The restore limitation exists on all major cloud accounting systems, so it’s not unique to QuickFile.
There’s a technical reason why restores are not feasible in the cloud, I’ve explained it elsewhere (see here) but it comes down to the way cloud systems store all users in one single monolithic database. You can only rollback a database globally, you can’t pick out specific user activity and only roll that back.
###Restoring deleted data
When you delete invoices and purchase in QuickFile, they do not get permanently deleted. You can go into both the invoice and purchase list and in the bottom right hand corner show all deleted entries. You can then restore these items in bulk.
Bank entries would need to be restored from a CSV, you can then tag these entries back to the invoices you restored in the previous step.
