On the TSM Server, only in the BACKUPS table would you possibly be able to find this information (providing the object hasn't already expired due to relevant retention parameters) - generally (and there are caveats), an INACTIVE object's DEACTIVATE_DATE will record when the object went from being ACTIVE to INACTIVE (i.e. modified or deleted).
However, I'd always go with Wanda's suggestion first - much less onerous all around to check out the client's dsmsched.log if it's available.
