Microsoft Excel 2000, the option to Always create backup does not work. However, after you save the file a second time, a file by the following name is created
where File name is the name of the file you are saving.
WORKAROUND
To create a backup to an FTP location, save the file to the FTP site and
then immediately click Save As on the File menu and save the file with a different name. The first file you saved is the backup, and the second file is the working copy.
