I think I found out the cause and am able to simulate this problem. Here is what I suspect:

We actually copy the output of the "mminfo" command to paste it to a
text file on a different server (because the backup server is in a DMZ,
redirection would not work).

In the mminfo output, the first part of the first line has the string
"date" and the first part of the second line has the date a month ago.
When I accidentally pasted the text that was in the clipboard in the
command window, the "date" command was executed taking the input from
the second valid line, thus changing the date.

You have permission to say "Doh!", Homer Simpson style.
