Google Drive maintains file version history, allowing you to restore uncorrupted data if your local system is compromised.

For decades, has been the backbone of small and medium-sized businesses across India, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. Despite newer versions like Tally Prime and Tally ERP 9, Tally 7.2 remains popular due to its lightweight nature, simplicity, and low hardware requirements.

Tally 7.2 is legacy software (released roughly 2005-2006) and is not supported by Tally Solutions or Google. It was designed for Windows XP. Running it on Windows 10 or 11 often requires "Compatibility Mode" or patches, and sometimes it will not run at all on 64-bit systems.

Make it a habit to run the backup process daily, preferably at the end of the day.

Instead of working directly from Google Drive, work from your local C:\Tally72\Data . Then, create a batch script to copy files.

Schedule automatic backup of your Tally 7.2 data to Google Drive. You can choose to backup your data daily, weekly, or monthly.
