I'm not sure this is the best answer to your question, but in the absence of 
any other replies I thought it might at least prompt somebody to come up with 
something better.

I'm assuming here that your hypervisor is vSphere and not Hyper-V? In which 
case empirical evidence from my systems suggests that for every backup of a 
snapshot of the VM called bodev, I get one bodev.ovf backup object.

I would normally shy away from running Selects against the Backups table, so 
use the following at your own risk. However to determine how many snapshots 
you've got stored for the VM called bodev, maybe try something like the 
following?

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM BACKUPS WHERE FILESPACE_NAME='\VMFULL-bodev' AND LL_NAME 
LIKE '%.ovf'

It looks like all versions of bodev.ovf will show as Active versions, but 
perhaps you can just assume the number of inactive backups is 1 less than the 
total?
