vwBackupHistory (dependencies included)

I've been asked to produce the code for vwBackupHistory with no dependencies. 

This is created in tempdb but you can optionally put it into your Admin (or similarly named) database. 

Use this as a first check when you need to locate backup files.



/*    DATE        AUTHOR            REMARKS
      2/2/16      PPaiva            Initial creation.

      DESCRIPTION
            Use this code to get a historical list of backups on
                  this instance.
            First query result is Last backup of each database.

      USAGE
            -- Last backup of each database
            SELECT *
            FROM vwBackupHistory         
            WHERE Num = 1
            ORDER BY DateStarted desc

            -- Databases NEVER backed up
            SELECT s.Name, s.state_desc State, S.recovery_model_desc RecoveryModel
            FROM sys.databases s
            LEFT JOIN (SELECT DB FROM vwBackupHistory WHERE Num = 1) as v
                  ON v.DB = s.name
            WHERE v.DB Is null
            ORDER BY s.name

            -- Last backups, all databases
            SELECT *
            FROM vwBackupHistory         
            ORDER BY DateStarted desc

            -- Last 5 backups per DB per Type per Path 
            SELECT *
            FROM vwBackupHistory
            WHERE Num <= 5
                  AND IsSysDB = 0
            ORDER BY Instance, DB, DateStarted desc
