As Andrew implied yesterday, you "Find" the transaction in the register
in your *current* file and leave the backups well enough alone.
Alternately, run a transaction report filtering by
Account/Date/whatever-else-you-know-about-the-transaction.
Dealing with your backup files and putting them, and your current data,
at risk only complicates what appears to be your goal.
