At Conquered IT, something we often hear our customers say is “I don’t need to backup Xero, it’s in the cloud…”. This is a common misconception around cloud products and software as a service (SaaS). It is assumed that the service you pay for provides 99.9% up time and that this covers everything. If you take the time to check the terms and conditions for most services, you will find that it is always the customers responsibility to ensure you backup your data.
You can find Xero’s T&Cs at the link below, and we’ve highlighted the important bits.

You’ll also see, that should Xero have a serious issue, they offer zero compensation for loss of service or your data!
Conquered IT Xero and QuickBooks Backup
For £9.50 per month, with free setup, we provide automatic daily backups for Xero and QuickBooks. Third-party backup is essential when data loss could originate from a complete failure or security breach on Xero’s systems, or from inside an organization. For example, if:
- A new employee has deleted data in error or imported transactions wrongly.
- A disgruntled employee has wreaked havoc, sabotaged files and deleting contacts.
- An app you were trialing has pushed unwanted data into your accounting records or drastically altered contact details, records about deals or company data.
Backing up Xero with Conquered IT is a small investment, but the reassurance that your financial data is both protected and controlled is huge.
To protect your data today, call us on 01280 736262 or email us at customerservice@conqueredit.co.uk to get started.
