Post by holycrap »

They're backups of the user and channels files, and are automatically created by renaming the old user/channels file prior saving a new one. Their purpose is to maintain an old copy of the user/channels file whenever a new one is saved, just in case something would go wrong (process is killed while saving, disc quota exceeded, etc).
