Larry,

If you are referring to the "Last Backup Start Date/Time:"
on the filespace, it is updated after a successful backup.
Here is an example from my QUERY FILESPACE:

tsm: TSMSERVER1>q file HOOBLER_SQL f=d

                                      Node Name: HOOBLER_SQL
                                 Filespace Name: HOOBLER\meta\0000
                     Hexadecimal Filespace Name:
                                           FSID: 18

                    Last Backup Start Date/Time: 07/17/2003 09:50:03

                                  Capacity (MB): 0.0
                                       Pct Util: 0.0
