Many a times we need to find when my database last backed up or when it was last restored.
Below is the quick script i use to find last backup and restore dates.
Script to find last backup date
SELECT
db.Name AS DatabaseName,
CONVERT(VARCHAR(12), MAX(bus.backup_finish_date), 101) AS LastBackUpDate
FROM
sys.sysdatabases db
LEFT JOIN msdb.dbo.backupset bus ON bus.database_name = db.name
GROUP BY
db.Name
Script to find last restored date
SELECT
db.Name AS DatabaseName,
CONVERT(VARCHAR(12), MAX(rh.restore_date), 101) AS LastBackUpDate
FROM
sys.sysdatabases db
LEFT JOIN msdb.dbo.restorehistory rh ON rh.destination_database_name = db.name
GROUP BY db.Name
Hope this helps…!
