We have like 400 cover paths built. Looks like many duplicates! Is there any way to back track to find out which extensions are built to that path?

I'm not sure if I understand your question.
If you want to find all of the stations that use the same coverage path, type list stat and sort on the cov path 1 (or cov path 2) field.
If you want to find out where all of those coverage paths point to, use list cov path.
If you want to see quickly if any of the coverage paths are unused, run an Audit from the Fault & Performance tab in ASA.

Recommendation:
1) Using ASA, do an Audit (under the Fault & Performance tab, selecting all items. In the History tab of ASA the results will appear. There will probably be a number of entries like "Coverage path x is a duplicate of coverage path xy" or "Coverage path x is not used".
2) Take a good look at the results, noting how many duplicates there are and how many unused ones there are. Duplicates can be boiled down to one coverage path, unused ones can be deleted. I generally work downward, so if coverage path 25, 27, and 35 are duplicates of coverage path 12, I'd want to consolidate all of them down to 12.
3) Remove unused coverage paths.
4) Using ASA, do a Find & Replace under the Advanced tab. In it, you'll want to replace (per my example above) all instances of coverage path 25 with 12...then 27 with 12...then 35 with 12...until you've got them all narrowed down.
5) After you've consolidated them all, do another Audit (see step 1 above). All those that were changed should now come back with a Coverage path x is not used result. You can then remove those unused coverage paths.
Sorry to be so wordy. Just trying to address how the original poster can minimize the number of coverage paths in the switch.
Good luck!
