I have a spreadsheet that I want to create a backup copy of the file once a week upon opening, for instance, when the spreadsheet is opened, the date of the last backup is checked and if the date it was created is more than 1 week ago, it will create a backup file.
This spreadsheet has a folder called Backups in the same folder it is in, which is where the backups are to be stored. The filename of the backup files are to be structured like this. Firstly, it needs the word Backup, then the name of the file that is being backed up, without the extension then it needs the date and time that it was backed up. The format for the last bit needs to be dd.mm.yy MMHH AM/PM, for instance "Backup Filename 24.3.21 129PM"
I found a very similar post that I posted a bit under a year ago but it was asking for a daily backup. I want a weekly backup now and I was not quite sure how to modify it. A lot of the other details are the same but any details in this post, takes precedence over details in that post I found.
I also want the ability to easily change the frequency of Backups. Possibly by having a cell that I can enter in weekly, fortnightly or monthly to set the frequency. This can be done on a sheet with the code name data, somewhere between A37:A50.
Could someone help me please?

Backups
I have a spreadsheet that is going to record data that I don't want to lose. Therefore, I want to insert a feature that runs a daily backup and saves a copy of the entire workbook as a separate file. I need the file saved with the filename "Allocation sheets - dd.mm.yyyy". The dd.mm.yyyy...
