t-sql to find backup file deleted or not?

  • does anyone have t-sql to find backup file deleted or not?

    suppose say maintenance plan created for every 2 hrs logbackup and delete file older than 2 days.

    is there any t-sql to find out which file deleted and which are not?

  • As far as I remember maintenance plan relies on XP_DELETE_FILE to delete old files - XP_DELETE_FILE is not supposed to leave any paper trail.

    I assume some windows scripting may let you know which files are still in the server - the authomatized version of login into the server and doing a dir on the targer directory 🙂
