What schedule do you want?
How can we answer the question "Is it right?" when we don't what you want?

That will never work. You have concatenated the three fields for day-of-month, month-of-year, and day-of-week into one. And you are trying to run a script in the root directory, which is somewhat unlikely. The script you have is not reliable either: at the very least you need a #! at the beginning to specify a shell.

They've given you all the clues.

First, you don't want to do ANYTHING as the root user, unless you ABSOLUTELY need that elevated level of privilege. You should have an OS user that owns the oracle installation. This user is usually named 'oracle'. Connect as 'oracle' and create your crontab from there.

Your crontab that you show indicates that your script is located in the root directory. Not a good place for it. You should have a directory owned by 'oracle' where you keep your oracle scripts. At the very least, /home/oracle/.

Your script should begin with a directive to indicate which shell (sh, ksh, bash, etc) you want to process your script. I usually use 'sh', so the directive is '#!/bin/sh'.

You said "I have to run the script every 02 am or every week." I *think* you meant "run the script at 02 am on every week." (I'll chalk that up to English not being your first language.) So, what day of the week? I could spoon feed you on that, but you'd learn far more by going back to a good reference on 'cron' and figuring it out. Present your best effort and we'll comment on it to nudge you to self-discovery.

BTW, you mentiond in the title that this is a 'backup' job. But your script is running expdp. I do hope that you are not relying strictly on exports as your only backup strategy. You really need to be using rman for your primary backup mechanism.

I thought "expdp" is full backup of database. Anyway I want to run the script on every day at 02 am.

Should I use 'rman' to do backup full db on everyday?

No it is a data and schema backup not a database level backup.

Yes, no, it depends on your restore and recover requirements but it is sure you should use RMAN to backup.
First read Database Backup and Recovery User's Guide, chapter 1 Introduction to Backup and Recovery.
First of all, are you in ARCHIVELOG mode?

The expdp utility invokes Data Pump. Data Pump is a tool for copying objects from one database to another. It does not protect the database against damage, such as a corrupted file.

Since I read I have to us RMAN backup job.
The set of BACKUP commands executed within a single RMAN session. For example, assume that you start the RMAN client, execute BACKUP DATABASE, BACKUP ARCHIVELOG, and RECOVER COPY, and then exit the RMAN client. The RMAN backup job consists of the database backup and the archived redo log backup.
Am I right?

Right about what?
About quoting Oracle documentation?
By the way, always post the link to what you quote.
It seems you quoted this from https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18283_01/backup.112/e10642/glossary.htm#sthref2412, that is from 11.2 master glossary, this is not sufficient, read the link I posted.

"archival" backups are somewhat 'special purpose'. If you've never seen rman, and don't know which 'archival' you need, then I'd suggest you don't need either. You just need to set up a normal series of level 0 and level 1 incremental backups, along with backups of your archive logs. NOrmal 'textbook' practice is to take a level 0 backup once a week and a level 1 the other six days. Set recovery period to 7 days. I could spell it out in more detail, but you first need to go back to the cited references and try yourself. You learn nothing if I just give you a script and say "here, use this, it works".

Can you 'recover copy of database'? I don't know, can you? Did you study what those commands do and think about how they are used?

SHOULD you use that script. Probably not. It appears you are ignoring the link that Michael has posted multiple times. Then you jump into the deep end of some rather special purpose uses of rman.

You need a simple BACKUP of the DATABASE and ARCHIVELOGS. Along with some housekeeping to DELETE those backups that have become OBSOLETE.

Please re-read that paragraph. I have capitalized several key words. Those are actual rman commands or options for commands. Please read up on them in the previously cited manual. Please quit looking for someone to hand you a pre-written script on a platter. You learn nothing that way. Think about the purpose of a backup. Is it to be able to say "I'm backing up the database"? Or is it to provide a means of recovering the database it when it goes belly-up at 2:00 AM? When that happens, and your director is breathing down your neck to recover it from those backups you've supposedly been taking, you'd better have a sound understanding of how this works, not just a backup script someone gave you.

Indeed! Else it would have been named BMAN, for Backup MANager.

See the previously cited document. See section 9.3.1 Backing Up a Whole Database with RMAN
Be sure to back up the archivelogs as well.
Be sure to include the option to delete the archivelogs after they have been backed up. BTW, you previously asserted that you are in archivelog mode. What are you currently doing to prevent the archivlog destination from filling up?
Be sure to include command to delete obsolete backups.

In addition to the previously cited RMAN User Guide, you should also be reading the Database Backup and Recovery Reference.
