Yes, you're right. Looks like they got left over from an abnormal backup exit. I need to add some code that cleans up any that remain after the backup.
It's certainly safe to remove them (assuming they are hours/days old). If you want to be really sure, the first integer is the pid of the process that created them, in this case 19524. You could confirm that process no longer exists before deleting them.

Based upon my observations when testing it appears these are temporary files prior to being added to the pool.
Craig - any input?
Cheers!

Hi Ray, I have similar files in cpool. ~60GB in 6 files. I suspected they were created in my experiments with archive host. At least the file date would fit. But that was a wild guess.
