Hello. I have a workbook that I want to save as a backup copy every 10 minutes on disk D, creating a folder called data and saving it inside it automatically.
 

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
Maybe this. Try on a copy.
VBA Code:
Sub AutoBackup()
    Dim FolderPath As String
    Dim FileName As String
    Dim Interval As Integer
   
    FolderPath = "D:\data\"
   
    FileName = ThisWorkbook.Name
   
    ThisWorkbook.SaveCopyAs FolderPath & FileName & "_" & Format(Now(), "yyyy-mm-dd_hh-mm-ss") & ".xlsm"
   
    Interval = 10 * 60
   
    Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:" & Interval), "AutoBackup"
End Sub
