We run a standby database in managed recovery mode and back the standby using RMAN to save CPU cycles on primary. According to the fine manuals, the RMAN backup should be taken off standby after the managed recovery is canceled. Otherwise the backup is "inconsistent", although no further explanation is given what that means and whether that means an "invalid" backup. We currently cancel the managed recovery on standby and then initiate the RMAN backup. Has anyone done the backups without canceling managed recovery mode? I did a few test recoveries and every time the recovery was successful, but I will feel a lot reassured if I hear someone else has done that.

Oracle 8.1.7.4, RMAN Catalog 8.1.7.4, RMAN version 8.1.7.4, Solaris 2.8

Thanks a lot in advance.
