How to find out if a database already has backup or not?

Hey by the below query you can find the last backup details of a database.

SELECT sdb.Name AS DatabaseName,
COALESCE(CONVERT(VARCHAR(12), MAX(bus.backup_finish_date), 101),'-') AS LastBackUpTime
FROM sys.sysdatabases sdb
LEFT OUTER JOIN msdb.dbo.backupset bus ON bus.database_name = sdb.name
GROUP BY sdb.Name
-- OR
SELECT
CONVERT(CHAR(100), SERVERPROPERTY('Servername')) AS Server,
msdb.dbo.backupset.database_name,
msdb.dbo.backupset.backup_finish_date,physical_device_name,
CAST(msdb.dbo.backupset.backup_size AS NUMERIC(35,2))/1048576.0 AS backup_size_MB
FROM msdb.dbo.backupmediafamily
INNER JOIN msdb.dbo.backupset ON msdb.dbo.backupmediafamily.media_set_id = msdb.dbo.backupset.media_set_id
WHERE msdb.dbo.backupset.type = 'D' AND database_name='your database name'
ORDER BY
msdb.dbo.backupset.database_name
