These are backup files of your database (excludinging media files). If you ever have a problem, like a computer crash, the last file created would a much needed file to recreate your tree.. I move these files to a thumb drive away from the hard drive. I keep about a month worth of the files and delete the older files. On the Family Tree tab in your Preferences (menu >> Edit >> Preferences) you can turn this option off.
