OCR is auto-backed-up by Oracle every 4 hours and once a day. ocrconfig -showbackup lists what is on disk; -manualbackup cuts a fresh one on demand, useful right before patching or a risky change.
The manual backup writes to the OCR backup location. Verify free space in that location first, and run as the Grid Infrastructure owner (grid or oracle).
