Jun 18, 2020 at 18:02 comment added Keith E. Truesdell Sorry, one more thing, this was the perfect solution, thank you. But to add something else, the sproc 'sp_delete_backuphistory` will delete all history for all DBs older than that @oldest_date variable. One may want to have older history on some DBs than others. This sproc will not do that based on the DB.

We just switched from a vendor doing the backups to Ola's scripts and I am surprised that this was not (from what I could see) in Ola's scripts. Unless I am missing something, maybe a default we switched turned that off or it was something leftover from the vendor.
Jun 18, 2020 at 17:57 comment added Keith E. Truesdell As a small edit, just make sure you are on the msdb for that sproc. It may seem obvious, but i was on the database I was trying to restore and it tripped me up for a couple minutes wondering if I had an older version of SSMS or SQL Server that doesn't have that sproc
