Email your SQL Server Administrators regarding the last backups for databases
The following script will send a notification that tells when the last database backup was performed.
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail
@profile_name = 'Sqlalerts',
@recipients = 'first.last@somoecompany.com',
@copy_recipients ='first.last@somoecompany.com',
@query ='exec msdb.dbo.uspMonitorbackups',
@query_result_separator=' ',
@subject = 'DB's w/o backups for last 10 days on SS Instance Name',
@attach_query_result_as_file = 0,
@body= 'Database without backup from last 10 days',
@body_format='text',
@query_result_width = 1000,
@append_query_error = 1,
@query_result_no_padding = 1;
Most of these parameters are self-explanatory. I will say that profile_name = the profile FROM which the email will be sent. This ends up in the "FROM" line of the email.
sp_send_dbmail documentation can be found here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190307.aspx
The contents of uspMonitorbackups is as follows:
USE [msdb]
GO
/****** Object: StoredProcedure [dbo].[uspMonitorbackups] Script Date: 03/19/2013 16:51:51 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
Create procedure [dbo].[uspMonitorbackups]
as
SELECT sd.name,
bs.TYPE,
bs.database_name,
max(bs.backup_start_date) as last_backup,
CONVERT(varchar(30),DATABASEPROPERTYEX(sd.name,'Status')) as [Database Status]
FROM master..sysdatabases sd
Left outer join msdb..backupset bs on rtrim(bs.database_name) = rtrim(sd.name)
left outer JOIN msdb..backupmediafamily bmf ON bs.media_set_id = bmf.media_set_id
WHERE bs.type = 'D'
Group by sd.name,
bs.TYPE,
bs.database_name
HAVING (MAX(bs.backup_start_date) < DATEADD(dd,-10,GETDATE()))
