We have a SQL 2005 server running the following backup job:

 /* Created by

online sql formatter</a> */ 
EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_create_subdir
    N'\\Server\Backups

GO

 
EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_create_subdir

BACKUP DATABASE [db_name__metabase] TO disk = N'\\server\Backups\DBServerName\\DB_Name__METABASE

GO

 
DECLARE  @backupSetId  AS INT

 
SELECT @backupSetId = position
 FROM   msdb..backupset
 WHERE  database_name = N'DB_Name__METABASE'
        AND backup_set_id = (SELECT MAX(backup_set_id)
                             FROM   msdb..backupset
                             WHERE  database_name = N'DB_Name__METABASE')

 
IF @backupSetId IS NULL
   BEGIN
     RAISERROR (N'Verify failed. Backup information for database ''DB_Name__METABASE'' not found.',16,1)
   END

 
RESTORE verifyonly FROM disk = N'\\server\Backups

This job was set up long before i started here and the problem is that
the backup file itself has grown to be over 230 GB. It does not
appear that the backup job is pruning the file. is there a way to
view the contents of this file and then prune it so we keep no more
then two weeks worth of data.

Thanks
