I will be moving history out of business database so business itself won’t contain history in near future.

@Lubos please do not remove the history from each business database. It is essential for auditing, and if it is removed, where would that information reside when we send a business file to the auditor or others?

In related topics we have asked for the original functionality to be restored so we can choose to save a business file with or without history, and/or attachments and and/or emails — not for these to be either removed or included entirely. Doing so would be the straw that breaks the camel’s back.

Totally Agree, if it is optional to save Backup With/Without history or attachment this will be good @lubos

In the related topic _ **“BACK UP HAS LOST OPTIONS”** _ topic, I had expressed my opinion that the previous backup options (including/excluding attachments and history) were excellent and perfectly served their purpose. I’m curious: what was the reasoning behind removing them? Furthermore, I don’t recall seeing any user negstive feedback or suggestion that these options needed modification.

I certainly would not like to see History disappear. I use it to delete stuffups! for one and its good for auditing.
