Note that ACFS supports only files _maintained outside of Oracle Database_.
Quoting OracleŽ Automatic Storage Management Administrator's Guide 11g Release 2 (11.2):
Oracle Automatic Storage Management Cluster File System (Oracle ACFS) is
a multi-platform,
scalable file system, and storage management technology that extends
Oracle Automatic Storage Management (Oracle ASM)
functionality to support customer files maintained outside of Oracle
Database.
Oracle ACFS supports many database and application files, including
executables, database trace files,
database alert logs, application reports, BFILEs, and configuration
files. Other supported files are video,
audio, text, images, engineering drawings, and other general-purpose
application file data.
[...]
Starting with Oracle Automatic Storage Management 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.3),
Oracle ACFS supports RMAN backups (BACKUPSET file type), archive logs
(ARCHIVELOG file type),
and Data Pump dumpsets (DUMPSET file type). Note that Oracle ACFS
snapshots are not supported
with these files.Starting with Oracle Automatic Storage Management 11g
