Backup Report

I was working on one the project and they were looking for a backup report which should specify whether it’s physical or logical and few more details. Whatever data I fetched looks good and I felt the same can be helpful for you guys to pull it as a report. If you need any more additions to it please let me know.

      @Ajay – Some weird characters inserted in the script. I corrected it now, it should be fine now.
