The savegrp completion report has the start time and the end time for the
group in it, should easy to pull the info from there. I believe the date is
also present so you could verify that as well.

There may be a way to query Networker directly, but if not it should be 
relatively painless to walk through your daemon* logs and extract the most 
recent group start entry. For example, I have a script that concatenates 
all my rolled-over logs into a large sequential one, and I sometimes use 
that for longer-term troubleshooting. I just delete the big log when I'm 
done. You probably don't need all of the logs combined for this, but maybe 
the last two or so (depending on when your script runs).

Or am I missing something? (entirely possible! :-)
