Good question. If you know a little bit about the system, catalog, and DMV's on SQL server the answer was easy.
Looking at the answers given, I think several people don't know the differance between the Catalog View's and DMV's.
The Following are SQL Databases and Files Catalog Views:
sys.database_mirroring
sys.backup_devices
sys.database_files
sys.databases
sys.database_recovery_status
sys.masterfile
There is a full listing of Catalog Views here:
