I never do it, so I write what I know
If you work in archivelog you backup archived redo log - that mean oracle alone create archive log, default in %oracle_home%\database\archive. You must copy these files on tape, another disk etc. You must do full backup and after it you backup only archived redo log. Archivelog is good if your database must works non stop online. Export it good stuff to backup your data if you have a little amount of transactons during day.
