Root [Sprint/Cricket] Is there anyway to decipher Clockwork mod back up file name dates

[TambourineMan]

My Clockwork mod backups are all named starting with 1970 and most then with .01.01 (but not all) and then some other numbers like 50.09 or 18.20 or 52.24. A recent one done November 27th is named 2013-04-02-11-27-47 which errored out probley due to insufficient space phone space (and I couldn't save tot he external Sd card as it was a 64B formatted in exFAT..

Is there some way to tell which is/are the older ones? the modified date does not show in windows explorer and when copied to a hard drive just show the date they were copied.

Its supposed to be the date, but I see there's likely a bug in your version of clock work mod

Its starting all the dates in the year 1970

If you browse to their location with a file explorer app it should show you the created date

This is a known bug for all CWM based recoveries. My advice, every time you do a backup, use a root explorer(I use es) and go into clockworkmod/backups and change it to whatever you want. Just make sure there are no spaces in the title or you'll get an md5 mismatch when you go to restore.
