NetBackup for Oracle in Data guard (log shipping) environments
Has anyone used NetBackup in an envionment where Oracle Data guard (log shipping) is in use ? We are facing issues while performing backups from stand-by/secondary servers....
What are the restrictions for Oracle backups in Data guard environments.
Online backup mode using "alter database begin backup" may have such restriction, but I could not find such statement for RMAN in Oracle docs. As per Oracle docs, you can backup DB on physical standby database.

RMAN compatibility on standby database is oracle matter, so you should ask further questions in Oracle forum.
