SQL query to work out the folder for backups.

Question

Hi All,
I am looking for a SQL script that will check the backup history and then inform me of the folders where the backups are written to.
I have found that the default backup location cannot be relied upon as it may well be the default location, but it doesnt mean that all backups will be found there.
Thanks in advance.

Pls try the script bellow
SELECT msdb.dbo.backupset.database_name,msdb.dbo.backupset.backup_start_date,msdb.dbo.backupset.backup_finish_date,
msdb.dbo.backupset.expiration_date,
CASE msdb..backupset.type
WHEN 'D' THEN 'Database'
WHEN 'L' THEN 'Log'
WHEN 'I' THEN 'Differential'
END AS
backup_type,msdb.dbo.backupset.backup_size,msdb.dbo.backupmediafamily.logical_device_name,
msdb.dbo.backupmediafamily.physical_device_name,msdb.dbo.backupset.name ASbackupset_name,
msdb.dbo.backupset.description
FROM msdb.dbo.backupmediafamily
INNER JOIN msdb.dbo.backupset ON msdb.dbo.backupmediafamily.media_set_id =
msdb.dbo.backupset.media_set_id
WHERE (CONVERT(datetime, msdb.dbo.backupset.backup_start_date,102) >=GETDATE()- 7)
ORDER BY
msdb.dbo.backupset.database_name,msdb.dbo.backupset.backup_finish_date desc
