I'm surprised that the auditors aren't asking you to say you have
tested a restore - or at least are confident that you can do one.

The gui display for each host shows a list of backups currently
available with the date it was taken. Doesn't show the year in that
view, but you can tell from the age/days column how old it is.

From config.pl:

# Date display format for CGI interface. A value of 1 uses US-style
# dates (MM/DD), a value of 2 uses full YYYY-MM-DD format, and zero
# for international dates (DD/MM).
#
$Conf{CgiDateFormatMMDD} = 1;

So, setting this to 2 gives you the year too, Michael
