We keep the last backup date in the registry for display purposes. You can
ignore the text (not the best answer, but it won't hurt any future backups).
It is a good idea to do a Complete PC Backup in case you ever need to
rebuild your computer. I would suggest that you create another one and then
hold onto it.
