Imagine starting your workday only to find your system has crashed, files are corrupted, or critical business data is missing. No invoices, no ledgers, no compliance records. Your accountant calls to say yesterday’s entries are missing. GST filing is due. Invoices need to be sent. For most businesses, this isn’t just an inconvenience, it can bring operations to a complete halt.
Your financial data is the backbone of your business. And protecting it shouldn’t depend on manual backups, external hard drives, or hope. Someone forgets to take a backup, a hard drive fails, a system crashes, malware locks files, or a simple mistake overwrites critical entries. These risks aren’t rare—they happen every day. And when data is lost, it doesn’t just cause stress; it leads to missed deadlines, delayed payments, and costly downtime. That’s exactly why TallyDrive exists.
What is TallyDrive — and why it’s different
TallyDrive is a secure cloud backup solution built into TallyPrime, designed specifically for business accounting data. Think of it as Backup 2.0 for your business:
- No manual effort
- No dependency on local devices
- No panic when systems fail
Once set up, TallyDrive automatically backs up your company data to Tally’s cloud—quietly, securely, and consistently. You don’t have to remember anything. You don’t have to plug in anything. And most importantly, you don’t have to worry about the backups!
Why cloud backup is no longer optional
Businesses today generate and depend on financial data every single day. Relying only on local storage or occasional manual backups exposes you to serious risks:
- System or hardware failures
- Accidental deletion or overwriting of data
- Malware or ransomware attacks
- Natural disasters or physical damage to systems
With automated cloud backups on TallyDrive, your data is stored securely on Tally’s cloud, protected from local risks and always ready when you need it.
How TallyDrive works?
1. Schedule backup once. Relax forever.
TallyPrime comes with a powerful Auto Backup feature that integrates seamlessly with TallyDrive, making data protection simple and intelligent. Inside TallyPrime, you can schedule automatic backups:
- Daily, weekly, or monthly
- During working hours or after office hours
Backups can be saved to:
- Your local drive, or
- TallyDrive (recommended)
Once scheduled, backups happen automatically. Your system just needs to be switched on—TallyPrime doesn’t even need to be open.
2. Secure cloud storage with TallyDrive
When you use TallyDrive, your backups are stored on TallyPrime’s secure cloud infrastructure. This means your data stays protected against system crashes, hardware issues, and accidental loss. Security features include:
- Password-encrypted backups
- Access only through authorized Tally.NET IDs
- High availability and reliability
Your data stays private, secure, and available whenever you need it.
3. Restore any version you want
Let’s be realistic, mistakes can happen. Data can be overwritten or incorrectly altered. But with TallyDrive in action, there’s absolutely no need to be worried! With TallyDrive, you can easily restore:
- The latest backup, or
- Any previous version
This flexibility allows you to recover your company data exactly as it was, without stress or downtime.
4. Smart, space-saving incremental backups
TallyDrive uses incremental backups, which means:
- Only changes since the last backup are saved
- Backup time is faster
- Storage usage is optimized
This makes it ideal for businesses that work with large volumes of data daily.

Free cloud storage with active TSS
With an active TSS subscription, you get free TallyDrive cloud storage:
- 1 GB for Single-User TallyPrime
- 3 GB for Multi-User TallyPrime
Simply renew TSS and start using your free cloud storage immediately.
Why renewing TSS on time in important?
TallyDrive and TSS work together. As long as TSS is active, your backups keep running, your data stays safe, and you don’t have to think about it. But when TSS expires, things slowly start to slip:
- Access to TallyDrive stops
- Your data is retained for only 90 days
- Automated cloud backups are disabled
Renewing TSS ensures uninterrupted access to secure backups and free cloud storage.
Need more storage as you grow?
As businesses grow, so does data.
More invoices.
More transactions.
More years of records you can’t afford to lose.
When your free storage starts filling up, you don’t need to change how backups work or set up anything new. You can simply upgrade your TallyDrive storage.
Additional storage starts at ₹1200 per year for 10 GB, allowing your backup space to grow quietly in the background—just like your business.
Because data protection shouldn’t be something you revisit only after something goes wrong.
