Today, I am going to share few very useful scripts which will report us on Database Backup from different view points.
To get the List/History/Log of all the Successful Backups
SELECT
b.machine_name,
b.server_name,
b.database_name as DBName,
b.backup_start_date,
b.backup_finish_date,
CASE
WHEN b.[type] = 'D' THEN 'Database'
WHEN b.[type] = 'I' THEN 'Differential database'
WHEN b.[type] = 'L' THEN 'Log'
WHEN b.[type] = 'F' THEN 'File or filegroup'
WHEN b.[type] = 'G' THEN 'Differential file'
WHEN b.[type] = 'P' THEN 'Partial'
WHEN b.[type] = 'Q' THEN 'Differential partial'
ELSE b.[type]
END Backup_Type,
b.expiration_date,
b.[user_name],
DATEDIFF(MINUTE,b.backup_start_date ,b.backup_finish_date) as Total_Time_in_Minute,
b.recovery_model,
b.backup_size/(1024 * 1024 * 1024) as Total_Size_GB,

msdb.dbo.backupset AS b
INNER JOIN msdb.dbo.backupmediafamily AS bf

GO
To get a list of all successful Backups taken till date for a particular Database

Hope, the above given script will be of help to you. Also, I would like to request you to please add any relevant script which you feel would be useful as a comment.
