I have a file geodatabase where backups are stored with a date in the name that gives the backupdate, BU_20230724, BU_20230731 etc. How can I select that only the latest will be read for further analysis? Normally, a feature class is selected under Constraints > Tables and you can select the one you need but, the latest Backup will not stay the same during the year. In a automated proces I would like to select the one with the latest date without changing it manually.

You can use the Schema reader to extract all the feature class names, use a Sorter and a Sampler (first 1) to get the latest and then send the name to a FeatureReader.
