ClientStoreMarker is not a date, it is a marker. It is merely used so  
that a running instance of bbackupd can check that no other instance  
is modifying it. On the first run of bbackupd, the marker is set. As  
long as it stays constant on each connection it can be certain the  
state is as it expects.
