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. 

    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e41134/rman.htm

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

    No restrictions in NetBackup. If Oracle RMAN worksbwith sbt channel, stream-based backup with NetBackup for Oracle must work. It is better to ask in Oracle forum if there are any restriction for RMAN in standby database.

    From NetBackup also there are some restrictions/constraints. Say for example , for SQL if log shipping is enabled, online backup should be performed from Primary DB only.

    Like this , what constraints we have in Oracle data guard environments ?
