iTunes - how to save numerous backups?

I have a problem with my iPhone which nobody seems to know how to fix. Over 3 forums & 2 days i've yet to have anyone have a stab at it.

So i go to restore the phone to fix it that way & only 2 backups are listed. 1 on the 4th of Feb & one as just "My iPhone" (My being my name). I assume this was made the last time i manually backed up.

How do i get a list of backups in there? If anything goes wrong i don't really want one option of last backup in case that backup has issues with it.

    Have you checked your iCloud backup? This is done daily when your phone is on charge and wifi is present.

    That's if you didn't disable iCloud backup.

    http://osxdaily.com/2009/09/11/iphone-backup-location/ Read that, find the backup folder and see the last modified date of the folder "My iPhone" and see if it older than the 4th of Feb one.

    Try "My iPhone" backup on your computer if you want. You can always erase and reinstall the phone and go to the 4th backup later.
