Hi,

I am using Microsoft Office Professional 2021 Excel. I have set autorecover to save my open workbooks to a local hard drive folder: H:\Miscellaneous\Computing\Excel\AutoRecover\ every 10 minutes. However, no backups are being saved there. I'm losing work because my PC is freezing up.

I have Googled the problem and the impression I am getting is that with Office Professional 2021 Excel you can only use autorecover to backup files to OneDrive. Is this true?

I don't want to use OneDrive for security reasons. I don't trust the Cloud with any documents let alone sensitive ones like personal information.

If I can't automatically backup to my PC every ten minutes I am thinking of writing a macro that would do this. Does anyone know of such a macro?

My thanks for your help on this matter
