Can I build standby database using this method?

hi:
I want to build a new standby database for a production database.
And the production database already has a DR standby database.
I know , I can shutdown the DR standby database and copy the datafiles,
the controlfile, the init.ora to new box. But it's danguares when
primary database crash during my copying process, and I should take a
lot time to recovry the DR standby database for the failover.
I also know that I can use "alter tablespace xx begin backup" on the
primary database , but that will cause the primary database generates
more redo logs during the copying. And the archive directory is not big
enough
So I want to copy the datafiles from the DR standby database without
shutdown the DR database.The DR standby database is recovering during
my copying process.
After my copy done, then I try to recover the new standby database, if
see some datafile block errors, then I re-copy the datafile and recover
again.
This method works fine so far. And I already used this method to create
some standby database successfully.
My questions is if this is a support method by Oracle?
Does this has any risk in the future?
Thanks
.
