Backup Device size

I am looking for a way to retrieve the size of my backup devices. When I run
sp_helpdevice, the backup devices with a cntrltype = 2 (which happen to be
the only ones I am interested in), all return a size = 0. Any idea how to ge
t the size using T-SQL?
Message posted via http://www.droptable.comHow about the file_size in the BackupFile system table?

d provides the files that are being backed up. I am looking for the size of
the *.bak files.
