Welcome to the Gnucash user maillist. That is the normal way GnuCash makes automatic backups. You can read about the process here: < https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Basics:_Filenames.2C_Directories.2C_...>
Eventually Gnucash deletes older backups. Most users place their data files in a dedicated subdirectory of their user space such as Desktop/Checkbook. You can call it whatever you want.
