It stores the backups there ONCE.

The actual question asked, however, was "how do I place the backups in say /u05/backup"
Backups in the plural, note. Meaning "how do I get RMAN to place ALL my backups in that directory"

Therefore, the correct answer is:

configure device type disk format '/u05/backup';

...after which all future backups will be placed there automatically and the only backup command that need be issued is:
