Incremental backup from an active Standby is under ADG licence.
https://www.oracle.com/database/active-data-guard/index.html
But it doesn’t say database is Read-Only with Real Time Apply.
So for me incremental backups from “Active” mean applying changes is under ADG
licence.

Any proof link for that? ADG has appeared in 11g while backups from standby are
available for a long time - do you mean there was a license agreement change? I
highly doubt so.

Hi Vadim,
Remember that you must be licensed active data guard for backup from active
standby.

Good evening oracle experts. I am having issue activating database restored
using backup taken from standby.
Our current setup: We have one primary and one standby database. The
standby database is kept in sync with primary using dataguard. We are currently
taking backups from primary. We are want to move backups from primary to
standby database.
I used script bellow to take backup from standby database and then restored
backup on different server. The database was successfully restored and physical
standby. The problem started when I try activating it. I got the following
error
ORA-01194: file 1 needs more recovery to be consistent
ORA-01110: data file 1: '+STAGEDATA/SETLR/DATAFILE/system.5096.929468439'
I will greatly appreciate suggestions on taking backups from standby in order
to restore as primary in case of emergency as well as how to solve
inconsistency error after standby database is activated.
Thanks so much,
Vadim
