Hi,

I need to know,the last successful restore operation data and time.

In SQL Server management studio 2005,if i select a database and check for Backup and restore events reports.

For successful restore operations,its not displaying any results.

Is there any other way?

SELECT MAX(restore_date) AS restore_date
FROM msdb.dbo.restorehistory
WHERE destination_database_name = 'dbName'

You're welcome.

And just to close the loop since you mention backup information in the topic's subject, backup information can be found in the msdb.dbo.backupset table.

SELECT MAX(backup_start_date) AS backup_date
FROM msdb.dbo.backupset
WHERE database_name = 'dbName' -- AND type = 'D' (if you are interested in only full backups)
