If you have a backup server which can be linked directly to the RMAN as a pseudo tape device, this is the way to go. Backup to disk and afterwards copy to tape is always a pain in case of point-in-time restore.

Otherwise you can simply use a shellscript or so to execute the backup and schedule it outside the EM.
