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.

RDL's future with other reporting platforms

Hi,
Which reporting tools of the market today support RDL I mean if I make a
report in RDL which reporting tools will be able to understand the report
that is made in RDL and render it? This is extreamly important for us to
know. We need to decided on, in which format should our own reports be
saved.
Thanks,
