As this is the section of DBA script, so I am sharing one more SQL Server DBA Script to find the location of database backup files.

This script is handy to the Database Administrator because sometimes DBAs are finding all different locations of database backup files.

In our organization, I found that many of database developers and junior database administrators are taking backup in a different location so I always wonder about those areas of the Database Backup file.

We should also remove old backup files.
I am fetching this location details from MSDB database. 

SELECT Distinct physical_device_name 
FROM msdb.dbo.backupmediafamily
