Question

I know there are Backup and Restore events Report in SQL Server 2008, is there a TSQL command to do the same?

The report gives information like the following

• Datetime
• Destination
• Restore Type
• Mode
• Recovery Option
• User
• Backup Name

I am guessing this is in a system table somewhere but my google search have not found anything yet.

Cheers

Answer 1

I wrote the following query to get the last restore date for databases that exisit using the following SQL.

SELECT
Max([restore_date]) as LastRestoreDate
,[destination_database_name] FROM [msdb].[dbo].[restorehistory]
inner join sys.databases on
[destination_database_name] = name
group by [destination_database_name]
