Identifying a manual vs an automated backup file

by Jerry Lau.  

Hello folks.

I was wondering how in the moodledata folder, can we differentiate by looking at the hash what is an automated vs a backup created manually by the owner of that course?

Do I have to query the database for that filename and type and find or associate it with the one in the moodledata directory?

Or looking it at another way.. if I go to a course's moodledata directory, how can I tell which 10 backups they have there were manually created by a user (if any) and which ones are were created by moodle during the cron process (if any)? I think I would have to map it from the db to tell the difference are my thoughts on the matter.

Thanks.
