i currently have 78 backups -__- but i don't know which one is my latest one since i think the date windows is saying on them are wrong..do i have to go through them all one by one ? is there a way to find the latest one?

If you open the file, it says the date in the first or second line... with grep you can get a list and take your pick.

$ zgrep 'Generated:' *.sql.gz
backup_1691.sql.gz:-- Generated: 02nd May 2010 at 07:40
backup_2594.sql.gz:-- Generated: 04th April 2010 at 07:31
backup_30e0.sql.gz:-- Generated: 07th November 2010 at 06:55

Thats a lot to do. MyBB should in the future name the backups as per date.

The latest backup should theoretically have the biggest size. Check the times of the 5 or 10 biggest backups as frostschutz said

thanks alot I Just Opened them in notepad it shows the date at the top..
