We want to backup the standby database (created with data guard) to the appliance in our disaster recovery datacenter and be able to recover to the production database from the appliance in the production datacenter.
Lets take it one step back. What is the point of backing up the standby? Always wondered about that especially now that you've got two appliances that can replicate the primary's backup between sites.
It's a fairly common use case to offload backups to a standby server to take the load off of prod systems.
I just need to know if it's supported. I can't find it documented either way.
Suppose from a load point of view its valid. I can't find any reference to data guard and netbackup. I'm sure if there was a technote about it we would have found it, but I'd raise a case to check it anyways. Just open one and say your Oracle backups of your dataguard instances are not working and see if it gets flagged or not.
