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 get the size using T-SQL?

How about the file_size in the BackupFile system table?

|||That does not provide the size of the backup files (as in *.bak), but instead provides the files that are being backed up. I am looking for the size of the *.bak files.

|||I am running SQL 2000 and do not seem to be able to find sysbackuphistory.

|||I am sorry I meant the BackupSet system table.
