In this example, the oracle_backup1 policy backs up all the files in /oradata/oradata1. The policy specifies a weekly full backup, a daily differential incremental backup, and a user-directed backup schedule. The archive logs and the control file are backed up using the user-directed schedule at the completion of the full or incremental backup.
