Need Query For Backup Information

Hi All, I am very much new to SQL Server and I need the solution for given below problem. How Could I check the Backup_Location, & Backup_Method using quqry analyzer? Backup method like is there a script, or the backup is part of the maintenance plan
Backup_Location like D:MSSQLBackup
Also, I have to check the frequency of the transaction lob and full database backups. Thanks in Advance. Waiting for the reply. Rahul
Query analyser in in SQL Server 2000, So I think you are refering to SQL Server 2000. Check these system tables
backupfile
backupset
dbo.backupmediaset
dbo.backupmediafamily —————————————-

Actually there is 100 of servers on which I need to run this query and submit the report, So I need a one shot query for every server.
Check the script from the following link… http://www.sqlservercentral.com/scripts/viewscript.asp?scriptid=1662
