It's supposed to be the date and time of the last file modification 
which should be the date and time displayed with
  ls -l xxpkrqup.p.bak

You can check the last change to the inode for the file with
  ls -cl xxpkrqup.p.bak

And you can check the last time the file was accessed with
  ls -ul xxpkrqup.p.bak
