Xero Business Backup
Control-C preserves recoverable historical copies of your Xero records, including accounts, invoices, bills, journals, attachments, notes, payroll, projects, and fixed assets. So when data changes, disappears, or access is interrupted, your team has an independent copy to recover from.

Why Xero backup matters
Xero keeps your accounting moving every day. But businesses and practices still need their own independent copies of the records they depend on.
Control-C gives you recoverable Xero history outside the live platform, so you are not relying on one system for both daily operations and long-term recovery.
Xero’s terms also note that customers are responsible for maintaining copies of data entered into the platform.
Product levels
Choose the level of independent Xero backup that fits the records your business or practice needs to recover, including data views outside Xero in Backapp and offline invoicing.

Recoverable financial and operational records. For businesses that need payroll, projects, fixed assets, Backapp data views, and offline invoicing outside Xero.
Invoice history
In Xero, updating contact details can affect how past invoices appear later. That creates a real problem when you need to show what was issued at the time.
Control-C helps preserve the original record context so you can recover historical invoice information when it matters.
Attachments and supporting files
Invoices, bills, receipts, statements, and supporting files often matter as much as the transaction itself.
Control-C helps preserve attachments alongside the records they belong to, so recovery does not stop at the ledger.
Recovery when something changes
Control-C gives your team a recoverable Xero history you can search, export, and return to when something goes wrong.
Trusted by Xero businesses and advisors.
Control-C has protected Xero data since 2013 and is used by businesses, accountants, and advisors who need independent recovery outside the live Xero platform.
