{
<#
.SYNOPSIS
Returns backup history details for databases on a SQL Server
     
.DESCRIPTION
Returns backup history details for some or all databases on a SQL Server.
 
You can even get detailed information (including file path) for latest full, differential and log files.

.EXAMPLE
Get-DbaBackupHistory -SqlServer sqlserver2014a
 
Returns server name, database, username, backup type, date for all backups databases on sqlserver2014a. This may return a ton of rows; consider using filters that are included in other examples.
 
.EXAMPLE
$cred = Get-Credential sqladmin
Get-DbaBackupHistory -SqlServer sqlserver2014a -SqlCredential $cred
 
Does the same as above but logs in as SQL user "sqladmin"
 
.EXAMPLE
Get-DbaBackupHistory -SqlServer sqlserver2014a -Databases db1, db2 -Since '7/1/2016 10:47:00'
 
Returns backup information only for databases db1 and db2 on sqlserve2014a since July 1, 2016 at 10:47 AM.
 
.EXAMPLE
Get-DbaBackupHistory -SqlServer sql2014 -Databases AdventureWorks2014, pubs -Force | Format-Table
 
Returns information only for AdventureWorks2014 and pubs, and makes the output pretty
 
.EXAMPLE
Get-DbaBackupHistory -SqlServer sql2014 -Databases AdventureWorks2014 -Last
 
Returns information about the most recent full, differential and log backups for AdventureWorks2014 on sql2014
     
.EXAMPLE
Get-DbaBackupHistory -SqlServer sql2014 -Databases AdventureWorks2014 -LastFull
 
Returns information about the most recent full backup for AdventureWorks2014 on sql2014
     
.EXAMPLE
Get-SqlRegisteredServerName -SqlServer sql2016 | Get-DbaBackupHistory
 
Returns database backup information for every database on every server listed in the Central Management Server on sql2016
     
.EXAMPLE
Get-DbaBackupHistory -SqlServer sqlserver2014a, sql2016 -Force
 
Lots of detailed information for all databases on sqlserver2014a and sql2016.
