Thanks, we are keeping emails, but I didn't realize that the backup history in the compact edition database is also kept in MSDB. That's really good to know, since it is easily queried.
As far as the backup history and purging goes, we purge our backups after 35 days. However, we write to a network share directly, not locally, and the share is backed up also. The tapes are kept for a year, so even if the file doesn't exist on the share, it can be retrieved from tape if needed.

If we do purge old entries, how can we prove that a backup was done on a particular day? Is there a way to restore the old entries, or dump them to an archive database/file/etc? I have a mandate from management that I be able to prove backups were taken on a particular day, so I can't just purge old entries.
Also, I should note that I agree with the poster above who commented that if Red Gate back-ended to a better database (SQL Server, perhaps) performance would probably be a LOT better.
Thanks
