saveas for backup
 

What's the difference between using Save vs SaveAs
with "createbackup" set to true? How do I execute Saveas
to a backup file (different workbook name) and have Excel
not replace the active workbook with the saved file?

Use SaveCopyAs instead.

Save saves the workbook under its existing name.

SaveAs saves it under the specified name. Createbackup create a .bak file at
the save time.

Use SaveCopyAs to create a copy but leave the activeworkbook unaffected.
