Cpanel Full Backup File - Extract Date-time and user

Is there a quick and easy way to extract the backup date-time and user/ account information from a cpanel full backup file?

eg: backup-5.17.2016_05-15-12_USERACCOUNT.tar.gz

I need to get three variables:
Date: 5.17.2016
Time: 05-15-12
User: USERACCOUNT

I have several backup files which I need to extract it from (on centos 7).

Any help appreciated

    Assuming you're grabbing it from the filename, it should be some pretty simple text parsing. This took me ~1 minute, and it gave me all the information you need. It's up to you to use the variables (date, time, user) appropriately

    (I would post it here, however CloudFlare constantly insists I answer a non-rendered CAPTCHA -__-)
