Generate restore script automatically by backup history table

I wrote a store procedure which could generate restore script automatically by backup history table. it can help you select a best restore solution base on the backup history table.

For instance,  if you backup the database as the sequence below
ID backup_start_date backup_type
1 2012-04-30 18:28:43.000 Full
2 2012-04-30 18:29:22.000 Log
3 2012-04-30 18:29:52.000 Full
4 2012-04-30 18:30:28.000 Full
5 2012-04-30 18:33:11.000 Diff
6 2012-04-30 18:37:18.000 Diff
7 2012-04-30 18:39:26.000 Log
8 2012-04-30 18:40:58.000 Full
9 2012-04-30 18:43:21.000 Full
10 2012-04-30 18:43:56.000 Full
11 2012-04-30 18:44:10.000 Full
12 2012-04-30 18:48:50.000 Log
13 2012-04-30 18:50:53.000 Log

let's say you want to generate restore script which can restore the database to  '2012-04-30 18:34:00',
it will automatically generate restore script by using the backup file below
ID backup_start_date backup_type
4 2012-04-30 18:30:28.000 Full
5 2012-04-30 18:33:11.000 Diff
7 2012-04-30 18:39:26.000 Log

if you want to restore to '2012-04-30 18:44:00', it will generate script by backup file
10 2012-04-30 18:43:56.000 Full
12 2012-04-30 18:48:50.000 Log

The store procedure can also check if the backup file is existed.
you can also generate restore script for any point, let me know your feedback . thanks

/*********************************************************************************************
Generate database restore script by backup history, it can
1. give out the restore script and sequence
 @ListMode='All' :   lists all possible restore scripts before @RestoreToTime
 @ListMode='OnlyValid' :  gives out a best valid restore way with mininum script.
2. check if the backup file existed

blog: http://jamessql.blogspot.com/
Example:
1. Generate restore script for database RS
EXEC sp_RestoreDBbyHistory @SourceDB='RS'
2. Generate all possible restore script for database RS, restore it as name 'RS_restored' to '2012-04-30 14:13:30.000' and with norecovery
[sp_RestoreDBbyHistory]
@SourceDB='RS'
,@DestinationDB='RS_restored'
,@RestoreToTime ='2012-04-30 14:13:30.000'
,@RecoveryMode ='Norecovery'
,@ListMode='All'
Pleaes test it by yourself first.
