Return the UNIX TIME of the last DB save executed with success.
A client may check if a [`BGSAVE`]({{< relref "/commands/bgsave" >}}) command succeeded reading the `LASTSAVE` value,
then issuing a [`BGSAVE`]({{< relref "/commands/bgsave" >}}) command and checking at regular intervals every N
seconds if `LASTSAVE` changed. Redis considers the database saved successfully at startup.
