What is the basic reason for restricting backup at standby
server(pg_start_backup)?

We are doing the following steps to take backup from standby which(backups)
might be used for standalone startups.

1.Create file system snapshot(LVM)
2.take the back up of data directory including wal files
3.Drop the file system snapshot

Will there be(foresee) any issues while using these backups?
