I may be on the wrong track here but you may need to de-select "Always create backup copy" in Tools >Options >Load/Save >General ... Save

I read an .sxc spreadsheet from a USB stick, change a few fields and try to Save it.
Get 'Could not create backup copy' message and no saving gets done.

Saving to normal harddiska works fine. 'SaveAs' to USB stick does work normally and I can simulate 'Save' by doing 'SaveAs' but with the original filename. That works too.

Any ideas how to use the normal Save??

Am I correct in thinking that 'Save' writes my document to a temporary file and once that write is successful renames the temporary file to become the new file? I am worried about extra copies floating around as I write the file to the USB stick exactly because the content is confidential.

Any clarification on this point might help me try to understand why a backup copy is involved at all when I just try to save my spreadsheet.
