find /opt/reports -name "DatabaseServer" -ctime 720 -print , Iam trying to manupilate the creation time , but not getting the output

You may run into the time format error message like this:
find: I cannot figure out how to interpret ‘01-01-2019’ as a date or time
If that is the case, use stat <somefile> to see what file format you should use:
$ stat somefile
File: ‘somefile’
Size: 0 Blocks: 0 IO Block: 4096 regular empty file
