Default Backup

I know that I can select the option to always create a backup file in the
save options. What I want to know is, whether it is possible for me to move
this back-up file to a different folder and if it will still get updated with
changes to the main document.

Default Backup

Alek:

If you move a file using the file manager or windows explorer Excel will NOT
automatically change the backup directory... you'll have to do that manually.

TOOLS | OPTIONS /SAVE
--Autorecover Save Location
From there just type in the directory you'd like it to be from now on. Move
your files to that directory from the old one and you'll be all set

Good Luck
