backup job's 'View History' is blank in MSSQL 2005

  • Hello All,

    I'm trying to check the backup job's history and when i clicked on 'View History' options it comes out to be blank.

    i want to view the history of 2 different backup jobs so i checked both however, don't see any log for both.

    Backupmediaset and Backupmediafamily tables does show the info.

    Please suggest at the earliest how to get the same. Thanks

    Rgds,
    Pankaj

  • Something like this could be useful for you.

    The WHERE type = 'D' limits it to full database backups.

    In this example I am just getting the backups over the last ten days.

    The MBs column is the backup rate - MB per second.

    The msdb.dbo.backupset table is very useful.

    This also works for LiteSpeed backups.

    USE msdb

    GO

    SELECT

    database_name

    ,backup_start_date

    ,CAST(backup_size / 1024 / 1024 / 1024 AS DECIMAL(5,2)) GB

    ,DATEDIFF(ss, backup_start_date,backup_finish_date) Secs

    ,CAST (backup_size / 1024 / 1024 / DATEDIFF(ss, backup_start_date,backup_finish_date) AS DECIMAL (5,2) ) MBs

    FROM backupset

    WHERE type = 'D'

    AND backup_start_date > GETDATE() -10

    ORDER BY backup_start_date
