Creating Automatic Backup Files on another drive
Excel / Word create automatic backup files (.xlk / .wbk) when the option is
selected. Can this backup be created not on the same drive as the main file (e.g. C) but on another drive (e.g. Y) ? That way there is more data security |

Creating Automatic Backup Files on another drive
I know of no way to change the designated folder for those backup files.
Even if you could, I don't know how that would improve data security. If you are interested in security I would suggest a regular backup of data files to media that would be stored elsewhere than on your computer. CD's, USB Flash drive or external hard drive come to mind.
