From the online.log you should see a timestamp for when an archive starts (for the single dbspace being backed up or the whole instance) From onstat -g arc you should see the same timestamp for dbspace(s). From the ixbar.<servernum> file the timestamps SHOULD be the same as the archive checkpoint, as this is what is used to work out what is needed for point in time restores.
