Hi Geeks,

I know the path of the Database being backed up, and I see the .bak files in those locations, but when I go in the SQL Server studio application, I am not able to see from which window, the location of the backup is been placed. for instance I want to verify that these backups have been backed up, courtesy of this application.

Thhis is a SQL serever 2008 version.

Thanks for reading my post.

Thanks,

AB

It's likely in a SQL Agent job and maybe even in a maintenance plan.

You can easily verify that your backup file gets successfully back up or not by using following query:

dbo.backupset: provides information concerning the most-granular details of the backup process

dbo.backupmediafamily: provides metadata for the physical backup files as they relate to backup sets

dbo.backupfile: this system view provides the most-granular information for the physical backup files
