Have you tried reading the manual? I don't have Finale 2007, but it's 
all explained in the manual I do have.

There are two types of backups:

1. Autosave backups that happen every N minutes (a user-configurable 
interval), and have an ASV extension, AND

2. Backups made each time you save the file, which have a BAK 
extension.

If you have both turned on, you'll get:

  MyMusic.mus
  MyMusic.asv
  MyMusic.bak

These may or may not be in the same folder as your MUS file (you can 
have a separate folder for both ASV and for BAK files, configurable 
in Program Options under FOLDERS, at least, it used to be there). 

The backup files are for recovery when something goes wrong. 
Otherwise, you can ignore them.
