Keys in the keypool store when they're generated (and the oldest are always used first).   Asking "what's the oldest key in the key pool" seems reasonable, and I think it would give you what you want@p{--} you could compare that timestamp to the timestamp of your last backup to see if you're covered. @p{par}

Although if you're going to periodically check to see what the oldest timestamp is (or you're going to periodically check to see if bitcoin has written a new timestamped backup file or periodically check WHATEVER) then it seems simpler to me to just periodically always call backupwallet.  Disk space and bandwidth is cheap these days... @p{brk}
