Logical data is nothing but tables, views, indexes, tablespaces etc while the physical data refers to dbf(database) files, control files etc...

coming to logical backup: logical backup is simply HOT BACKUP of logical objects of the database ie tables, views, schema's, tablespaces etc but physical backup is COLD BACKUP, In this you simply shut down the database and copy all the datafiles,control files of the database.
