The version is pretty easy to pull out. There is a system tag([System]Client/System/FPMIVersion) that shows the version.

I’m not seeing any option to see the last backup time in the client though.

Ah, I was looking in the gateway tag’s to look for it’s version but this works. Thank you for the help.  
May be able to get the last backup time from the backup file in the directory itself.
