Fast recovery area

ANNECNov 19 2018 — edited Nov 30 2018

We are using Oracle 12c on windows server.

I see our current environment setup the backupset to be in a directory like G:\oradata\SID\BackupSet and Data_pump_dir to F:\oradata\SID\Data_pump_Dir.

I wonder if there is a reason why they are not setup to go to the fast_faster_recovery_area directory F:\oradata\fast_recovery-area.

This was setup by previous dba,

I understand if we put the backupset and data pump to the fast recovery area, RMAN will automatically do most of the maintenance of space usage, to delete older files etc.

Is there reasons that we put backupset into another directory other than faster recovery area?

Thanks in advance.
