Those are generated when the system is crashing. They are provided to help you to work out what is happening, why the system is crashing. You might not have "asked for them", but they are there for a very important reason.
They are backing up files because it is writing out files for which there is already a file with the same name. If that file wasn't there, then of course it would not be generating a back up. The backup file feature is handy, because it avoids you inadvertantly loosing an important file when you run something, without fully realising what you are doing. Once things are done and you are 110% sure you don't need them anymore, you can simply delete them.
