RE: How to generate report on database restore durations

If you don't mind writing your own reports, you can access the restore details using SQL commands from within Management Studio.

The SQL Backup restore history details are stored in a SQL Server Compact Edition database on the server. You could use the sqbdata proxy function to access the details. The tables that store the restore history details are:

- restorehistory
- restorefiles
- restorelog

A simple query to retrieve the restore details could be as follows:

Code:

EXEC master..sqbdata 'SELECT dbname, restore_start, restore_end FROM restorehistory WHERE restore_type = ''L'' ORDER BY dbname, restore_start'
