Hi How would I find out the date my Database was last backed up?

Easiest way is to right click the database in SSMS, go to properties, and it'll be the first field.

Do you want to do it via T-SQL? Or is the GUI-way sufficient?

Actually T-SQL would be preferred.

[code]
SELECT
database_name AS DatabaseName,
MAX(backup_start_date) AS BackupDate
FROM msdb.dbo.backupset
WHERE type = 'D'
GROUP BY database_name
[/code]
