To keep in Track, we can add some user environment in filename

'=============================================================
    Dim fName As String, fPath as string, fTag as String

fPath = "\\your-computer-name\my-shared-folder\" '<-- Set This to Your Full Path Of Your Shared Folder to Create Backup fName = Environ("computername") & "(" & Environ("username") & ") " & Format(Now(), "yymmddhhmm") & " "
    fTag = "BeforeEdit"
ThisWorkbook.SaveCopyAs fPath & fNameStr & fTag & " - " & ThisWorkbook.Name
    ThisWorkbook.Save
'=============================================================

That code will save backup file named "EDITORCOMPUTERNAME(EDITORUSERNAME) YYMMDDHHMM BeforeEdit - SomeWorkbook.xlsm"
Ex: *MCMRWKS-ICT(Premor)**1307050837**BeforeEdit - Someworkbook.xlsm*
1307050837 => Year Month Date Hour Minutes (In Two Digit each)

If We want to create backup before user make some change in workbook, put that on Workbook_Open event If we want to create backup while saving workbook, then put that code to Workbook_BeforeSave, and change fTag to "AfterEdit"

That tag will make us more clearly to identify the file, from where that file edited, by who, and when the do that

Thanks,
