You can additionally run incremental merge if you want -

Here's what the docs say on it:

tm#BRBSC133

 

In summary, incremental backups can be much smaller and faster than full
backups, especially in 10g+ with a block change tracking file.  I've
been running incremental backups with RMAN and Netbackup for years and
haven't had any problems with them.  As with any backup/recovery
strategy - you should test it (especially the restore & recovery)
thoroughly in your environment.
