The default backup location is $ORACLE_HOME/dbs. If you want the backups to go to a different location you need to specify the location when you CONFIGURE the channel or ALLOCATE the channel:

CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/backups/orcl/%d_%T_%U.bkp';
ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch1 DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/backups/orcl/%d_%T_%U.bkp';

or when you issue the BACKUP/COPY command:

BACKUP DATABASE FORMAT '/backups/orcl/%d_%T_%U.bkp';
COPY DATAFILE 1 TO '/backups/orcl/%d_%T_%U.bkp';
