  3. Search for and then select the SQL Server instance or server group whose backup status you want to check. To specify multiple SQL Servers, separate each instance name with a semicolon.
  4. Check the options of passwords you want to check against. You can use: 
    • Top 10 List. Contains the most popular passwords as defined by PC Magazine and actually contains 11 passwords as a blank password is in the list.
