Automatic Backup (.XLK) when File is Saved (#auto)
Setting up for automatic backup of a file. (on a single file basis, not global)
- Save the file
- Save As (F12 key), then on the Save As Dialog menus: Tools --> General Options,
check “Always create backup copy”. Answer “Yes” when prompted
to replace the old document. Your new document is identical except
that the new one saves a backup each time you save the file.
Now, as to the backups: they are always one save behind the original
document. Excel backups have the original name and the
suffix .xlk (with a displayed filetype of “Microsoft Excel Backup File”), and
will appear in the same folder as the original. With the Excel backup you can use
Autosave and backup simultaneously.
