I got it, Thanks.

;WIth mycte as (SELECT

s.database_name,

s.[type]

,row_number() Over(Partition by s.[type] Order by s.backup_finish_date DESC ) RN

FROM msdb.dbo.backupset s

INNER JOIN msdb.dbo.backupmediafamily m ON s.media_set_id = m.media_set_id)

Select database_name, max(case when [type]='D' Then 'D' Else '' End) 'FULL--D'

, max(case when [type]='I' Then 'I' Else '' End) 'DIFF - I'

, max(case when [type]='L' Then 'L' Else '' End) 'LOG - L'

from mycte

--Where rn=1

Group by database_name

I'm not sure that you do have it. Let's say that your FULL backup ran yesterday, that your first DIF ran today, and the last LOG file backup ran a week ago but are supposed to run once per hour, what do you think that the query above will show? I'm thinking that it's going to look like everything is fine when it's not.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
