It uses a Transaction Log (.TLG) file and a backup copy of the Company file to recover the recent transactions. If the original .TLG file is not available, you can use a copy of the .TLG file and .QBW file to recover all data except for the recent transactions. However, ADR won&rsquo;t work if you do not have a copy of your company file. A better alternative is to use Stellar Repair for QuickBooks&reg; &ndash; a tool purpose-built to recover data from corrupted QBW and QBB files, regardless of their size. The tool is available in two subscription plans &ndash; standalone software and software plus services. In the latter, you will also get professional services to help you repair a corrupted QuickBooks company file.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"faqs\"><strong>FAQs<\/strong><\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a QuickBooks&reg; user, you may be using Intuit Data Services to&hellip; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/quickbooks-auto-data-recovery\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">QuickBooks Auto Data Recovery<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":76923,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[817],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-76888","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-quickbooks-file-repair","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>QuickBooks Auto Data Recovery - How It Works?<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Use QuickBooks Auto Data Recovery (ADR) to restore lost or corrupted company data.
