For Accounting
QuickBooks server. Sage. Tax returns. Backed up properly.
Accounting firms live on shared databases — QuickBooks, Sage, ProSeries. App-consistent backups (real VSS) are non-negotiable; crash-consistent gives you corrupt-on-restore databases. BigMind Resilience ships real VSS coordination on every paid tier.
Click to enlargeThe pain
Accounting firms run on databases that can't be imaged hot.
Shared application servers maintain transaction logs, in-flight writes, and indices. Image them while they're live and crash-consistent, and you get a backup that fails to restore. Most firms also run on tiny IT budgets — they can't afford an enterprise DR vendor, and they can't afford to be wrong about whether their backups work.
Shared database servers
QuickBooks Database Server Manager, Sage 50/300, ProSeries, and Drake are SQL-style application servers with transaction logs, in-flight writes, and indices that must be quiesced before they are imaged.
Crash-consistent backups corrupt
A crash-consistent backup of a live database produces a backup that fails to restore — or restores corrupt. App-consistent imaging is not optional for an accounting practice.
Tax-season ransomware risk
From late January through April every staff machine touches the QuickBooks server constantly. A ransomware hit then means missed filing deadlines, IRS penalties for clients, and a potential malpractice claim.
Real SQL VSS Writer coordination — not a disk-quiesce shortcut.
The backup quiesces the QuickBooks or Sage database, captures a clean point-in-time image, and releases. That's the difference between a restore that opens your books and one that opens a corrupt file. App-consistent VSS ships on every paid tier.
- QuickBooks Database Server Manager and Sage 50/300 via the Microsoft SQL VSS Writer
- ProSeries and Drake supported on the same VSS Writer pattern
- MSSQL on a fund-admin server covered on the Pro tier
Click to enlargeLock tax records for 7 years — even an admin can't delete them.
WORM-immutable retention (Pro) holds client returns for the full IRS horizon. Once a file is locked, it can't be altered or deleted before its retention period elapses — not by ransomware, and not by an administrator account.
- 7-year retention lock aligned to IRS Circular 230 §10.28
- Immutable copies survive a ransomware event on the production server
- State-board retention requirements layer cleanly on top
Click to enlargeGFS rotation plus a long-tail track for the 7+ year horizon.
A standard GFS schedule keeps daily, weekly, and monthly restore points close at hand, while a dedicated long-tail track carries the multi-year history that tax records and audit requirements demand — without paying hot-storage prices for old data.
- Grandfather-Father-Son rotation for recent recovery points
- A long-tail track built for the 7+ year IRS retention window
- Automated lifecycle moves aging data to lower-cost tiers
Click to enlargeDeterministic mid-attack detection on the QuickBooks server.
The ransomware canary watches for the signature of encryption in progress and flags it deterministically — it is not an AI-trained classifier. Catching an attack mid-stream, before it spreads, is what keeps your immutable copies clean. Free in every paid tier.
- Deterministic detection — not an AI-trained model
- Catches encryption in progress on the live QB server
- Included free in every paid Resilience tier

FAQ
Questions accounting firms ask first.
Will the backup actually work for QuickBooks?
Yes. App-consistent VSS is real Microsoft SQL VSS Writer coordination — not a VSS quiesce-the-disk shortcut. The database is quiesced, imaged at a clean point in time, and released.
Sage 50, Sage 300, ProSeries?
All supported via the same VSS Writer pattern used for QuickBooks Database Server Manager.
What about MSSQL on a fund-admin server?
Yes — the Pro tier covers MSSQL VSS.
Where's macOS?
Windows and Linux are supported at launch. macOS DR is on the roadmap.
