select * from msdb.dbo.backupset where database_name='myDatabase'There's a column in there for user_name, and some others that might help. |

The backup history tables in msdb only store details of the backup e.g. type of backup, when it was made, who did it, backup file names etc. It won't store details on who deleted your backup files.Ray MondRESTORE VERIFYONLY - don't bet your job on it!
