DATABASE_BACKUPS

Lists historical information for each backup that successfully completed after running the vbr utility. This information is useful for determining whether to create a new backup before you advance the AHM. Because this system table displays historical information, its contents do not always reflect the current state of a backup repository. For example, if you delete a backup from a repository, the DATABASE_BACKUPS system table continues to display information about it.

To list existing backups, run vbr as described in Viewing Backups in the Administrator's Guide.
