How to view list of backup files on a particular date

Question

In my office i am taking daily and weekly backups. I am just curious to know if i could view list of backup data on a particular day.

Example: If i have taken backup on 1st august 2013 i.e, on Thursday, i want to view list of backup data on 1st august 2013.

This greatly depends on *how* you are taking backups... by just copying files? by using a backup utility? by using `rsync` or something similar, or `zip`/`rar`/`tar`? — twalberg, Aug 02 '13 at 16:13

This should work.

ls -l *.bck | grep "Aug  1"
