Here is the daily script I am using as generated by Grid Control....

run {
allocate channel oem_disk_backup device type disk;
recover copy of database with tag 'ORA\$OEM_LEVEL_0';
backup incremental level 1 cumulative copies=1 for recover of copy with tag 'ORA\$OEM_LEVEL_0' database;
}


I also run this cleanup script nightly, but no affect on incremental
backupsets......

run {
crosscheck backup;
crosscheck copy;
crosscheck backup of database;
crosscheck backup of controlfile;
crosscheck archivelog all;
delete noprompt obsolete;
delete noprompt expired backup;
delete noprompt expired copy;
delete noprompt expired archivelog all;
}
