It isn't really doing much backup when in standby mode. The idea is that the standby database can assume role as primary, thru switchover/failover, and RMAN/Legato is preconfigured and ready to keep backing up this instance as it becomes primary. Re-reading the original post, I can see this was unclear. (Just because I'm not paranoid, doesnt mean they're not out to get me...)

Thanks, I'll keep looking at the manuals.
