    you have to use the -s and -e switches to show the files backed up before 6 months !

    -s specifies a start date and time for the listing. The resulting list shows only files in backups or the archives that occurred at or after the specified date and time.

    The valid range of dates is from 01/01/1970 00:00:00 to 01/19/2038 03:14:07. "The default is the current date minus six months. "

    -e specifies an end date and time for the listing. The resulting list shows only files from the backups or the archives that occurred at or before the specified date and time. Use the same format for start date and time. The default is the current date and time.
