The ".backup" files in the Data folder were created when you upgraded to a more recent version. These were automatically created when saving a Chartbook file in case you needed to go back to an older version. You will find the information on this in the 2nd entry here:

If you are stating that you are missing data due to the new file size, then this is not the case. We have implemented a new chartbook compression, so it is normal for their to be a difference in filesize.

You can also delete the backups just simply by selecting the file name in the Open Chartbook window and pressing the Delete button.

When you are copying Chartbooks to another computer, make sure Sierra Chart on that other computer, is also up-to-date:
