read sql log files

hi,
There is anyway or tools that I could read sql log backup(.bak)files?
ThnakaI hopfully understand your question correct. I assume you want to see
history of your backup jobs and you use SQL Server 2005. If not, please let
me know.
Fire up SQL Server Management Studio.
Connect to your instance, expand SQL Server Agent and then expand Jobs.
Right click on the backup job and click View History.
To see about your jobs' last events, go to SQL Server Agent node in SSMS and
double click on the Job Activity Monitor.

I believe that you are asking to read the transaction logs, is that correct?
SQL Server itself does not provide a facility, but others sell software:

Lumigent Log Reader is excellent if a bit pricey. Also adds several
capabilities to your recovery processing.
