From my knowledge on HDR you shouldn't talk a dbexport on the secondary.
For dbexport to execute correctly it puts an exculsive lock on your
database. Well, it might place that lock on the secondary but the
recovery threads that are applying changes to the database from the
primary don't check for those locks. So it would be possible that
you end up with either more or less data then you think. As for
dbschema, I can't think of any reason why that shouldn't run on
the secondary.
