#ValidationTags#Messaging,FlowControl,Pipeline,CodeStyle# function Get-DbaBackupHistory { <# .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. Backups taken with the CopyOnly option will NOT be returned, unless the IncludeCopyOnly switch is present Reference: http://www.sqlhub.com/2011/07/find-your-backup-history-in-sql-server.html .PARAMETER SqlInstance The target SQL Server instance or instances. This can be a collection and receive pipeline input to allow the function to be executed against multiple SQL Server instances. .PARAMETER SqlCredential Credential object used to connect to the SQL Server Instance as a different user. This can be a Windows or SQL Server account. Windows users are determined by the existence of a backslash, so if you are intending to use an alternative Windows connection instead of a SQL login, ensure it contains a backslash. .PARAMETER Database Specifies one or more database(s) to process. If unspecified, all databases will be processed. .PARAMETER ExcludeDatabase Specifies one or more database(s) to exclude from processing. .PARAMETER IncludeCopyOnly By default Get-DbaBackupHistory will ignore backups taken with the CopyOnly option. This switch will include them .PARAMETER Force If this switch is enabled, a large amount of information is returned, similar to what SQL Server itself returns. .PARAMETER Since Specifies a DateTime object to use as the starting point for the search for backups. .PARAMETER Last If this switch is enabled, the most recent full chain of full, diff and log backup sets is returned. .PARAMETER LastFull If this switch is enabled, the most recent full backup set is returned. .PARAMETER LastDiff If this switch is enabled, the most recent differential backup set is returned. .PARAMETER LastLog If this switch is enabled, the most recent log backup is returned. .PARAMETER DeviceType Specifies a filter for backup sets based on DeviceTypes. Valid options are 'Disk','Permanent Disk Device', 'Tape', 'Permanent Tape Device','Pipe','Permanent Pipe Device','Virtual Device', in addition to custom integers for your own DeviceTypes. .PARAMETER Raw If this switch is enabled, one object per backup file is returned. Otherwise, media sets (striped backups across multiple files) will be grouped into a single return object. .PARAMETER Type Specifies one or more types of backups to return. Valid options are 'Full', 'Log', 'Differential', 'File', 'Differential File', 'Partial Full', and 'Partial Differential'. Otherwise, all types of backups will be returned unless one of the -Last* switches is enabled. .PARAMETER LastLsn Specifies a minimum LSN to use in filtering backup history. Only backups with an LSN greater than this value will be returned, which helps speed the retrieval process. .PARAMETER EnableException By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message. This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting. Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch. .NOTES Tags: DisasterRecovery, Backup Author: Chrissy LeMaire (@cl) | Stuart Moore (@napalmgram) Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (c) 2018 by dbatools, licensed under MIT License: MIT https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT .LINK https://dbatools.io/Get-DbaBackupHistory .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Get-DbaBackupHistory -SqlInstance SqlInstance2014a Returns server name, database, username, backup type, date for all database backups still in msdb history on SqlInstance2014a.
