When you open a QuickBooks company file after one hour the QuickBooks Auto Data Recovery feature will perform some internal diagnostics on the file. If the file remains opened and passes the test, the application considers that it was a good file and a backup copy is made into the ADR folder. After the copy is made the ADR transaction log will contain all transactions added to the file from that time. After 12 hours are passed QuickBooks makes another copy of the file. For this process you have to keep your QuickBooks open so that the program knows that the file is accessible, and it will again run some short internal diagnostics. If everything passes, the first ADR copy is renamed to “old” and a new ADR set is created. Only one “old” copy is kept around. So you get two copies – one (12 hours old) and another (24 hours old).
