11g active data guard for backup database rman backup

The 11g active data guard implements rman backup for the standby database, so that the database can be backed up without affecting the external services of the primary database.

The test is as follows:

SQL> select OPEN_MODE, PROTECTION_MODE, PROTECTION_LEVEL, DATABASE_ROLE from v $ database;

OPEN_MODE PROTECTION_MODE PROTECTION_LEVEL DATABASE_ROLE
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
READ ONLY WITH APPLY MAXIMUM AVAILABILITY PHYSICAL STANDBY

SQL> exit
