DBCC SHOWFILESTATS

Hello,
I′m testing the execution of my database backups with omniback. These
backups fails so i've made a trace and i get the following error: "Error:
7983, Severity: 14, State: 14"
"dbcc showfilestats( 1 )"
The user used to access the databases is a domain admin but in sql server i
only give him the backup operator database role.
If this user were sysadmin everything goes fine but i want to limit his
access.
Do you have any idea about this?What does the documentation for the backup vendor say? Does it say that the
login need to be
sysadmin. If not, you have a bug in their program. If it does, well...
You cannot grant permissions on this. Also, this is an undocumented command,
so the backup vendor is
using it at their own risk.

with this interface. Backup Operators do not.
