“Because one copy is never enough. Control-C safeguards your Xero ledgers, Cin7 inventory, and XPM workflows, captured, searchable, and recoverable when the cloud isn’t.”

What It Does

Your data has depth. Your backup should too.

Control-C doesn’t just take a snapshot of your current balances; it continuously saves your entire transaction history. From the original documents to the smallest journal adjustment, your vault keeps every detail intact and recoverable.

  • If data changes or disappears in Xero, you still have the original.
  • With Control-C:
  • Every journal is preserved exactly as originally entered.
  • Every invoice is stored in the exact state it was issued.
  • Every supporting file stays attached to its record.
  • This covers:
  • Ledgers.
  • Journals.
  • Adjustments.
  • Tracking categories; invoices, bills, credit notes, contacts, payments.
  • All attachments (PDFs, receipts, statements, images).
  • Including historical data and metadata Xero’s exports do not retain.
  • Outcome:
  • A defensible, auditable financial memory.

Backup Coverage

The Invoice Address Problem: solved.

In Xero, updating a contact rewrites every past invoice for that customer. Control-C automatically keeps the originals.

  • What we keep:
  • The original invoice address and customer details.
  • Attached PDFs or documents exactly as sent.
  • Raw invoice data, unchanged and locked.
  • A dated snapshot of every invoice before any retroactive change in Xero.
  • Why it matters:
  • Auditors expect evidence to reflect what happened then, not what the system shows now. Control-C gives you both the original invoice and the clean audit snapshot.
  • Outcome:
  • No retroactive distortions, no compliance surprises, and a trustworthy invoice history Xero alone does not preserve.

Complete History & Journals

What auditors expect, preserved automatically.

Control-C saves each day’s version of your Xero data so you can show the ledger and journals exactly as they were.

  • What we preserve:
  • Every journal and adjustment exactly as entered.
  • All supporting evidence stored alongside the record.
  • A day-by-day reconstruction of the ledger.
  • A permanent record of changes over time.
  • Outcome:
  • Simple, fast, defensible responses to any audit or regulator request.

Backup Coverage

Every change saved in its own snapshot.

Control-C records each update from Xero and stores it in a secure timeline you can’t silently alter. This gives you a reliable history you can return to whenever needed.

  • Event-level capture for journals, invoices, bills, contacts, and attachments.
  • Compare any two reporting dates and see exactly what changed.
  • Retain years of history stored in your region or your own cloud if required.
  • Outcome:
  • Your financial record stays intact: regardless of what happens inside Xero.

Resilience Outcomes

Keep finance and audit moving, even when Xero isn’t.

If Xero becomes unavailable or an error wipes important data, Control-C makes sure your team can still keep operating.

  • Instant accountant-ready exports.
  • Rebuild journals or invoices from a specific day.
  • Create regulator-ready evidence packs in minutes.
  • Recover from misconfigurations, bad imports, or deletions.
  • Outcome:
  • Avoid downtime, missed deadlines, and compliance stress.
