    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.
