Why are you backing up standby databases? Aren't they supposed to be
copies of production? What do you do during DR tests, when typically a
switch-over is performed?
This gives us image file full backups every two hours. It also
removed the RMAN cpu/io from production.
What is the database version? Snapping a database without putting it
into the backup mode is only supported as of Oracle 12c:
https://docs.oracle.com/database/121/RCMRF/rcmsynta2001.htm#RCMRF140
We rely on autobackup for controlfile and spfile.
How about archive logs? If you don't have rman backup of the latest
archive logs, you cannot recover to current time..
