Solution

Make sure to take into consideration the following notes:

When using same backup location on primary and standby (exact NFS mountpoint), please note that the backup goes to this location which is sitting on a shared storage which is a same shared storage for standby. Therefore, the copy in between systems is not needed anymore. In this case, the best way is to perform CSD using Transportable Media
Mount options must be correct when using RMAN and NFS mountpoints. In the above example, you need to make sure that /backup has the proper mount options according to Oracle recommendations. Below are some Oracle documents which might help, but we suggest to visit My Oracle Support (MOS) for the details:
- NFS options for 11.2.0.2 RMAN disk backups on Linux 64bit (Doc ID 1117597.1)
- Mount Options for Oracle files for RAC databases and Clusterware when used with NFS on NAS devices (Doc ID 359515.1)
