I based my assumption on what Maury wrote in the earlier thread
"Confused about delta files":

"The date of the FDB is May 2nd, 2013. The date of the delta is today."

...combined with his later statement that "the system's Scheduler
function, without any warning or errors, stopped making these nbackups
last May".
