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

Shade all formula cells
To shade all formula cells: Home, Find & Select, Formulas to select all formulas. Then apply a light fill color.
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
