These are database backups

the only item of concern is how often they are done and for how long

Some info on backups also in pixls

I have two Windows 10 laptops, both running darktable 3.8.1. When I do weekly backups of the "B" machine, I see two distinctly different lists of files in \UserName\AppData\Local\darktable as shown below

These files seem to be generated automagically on ~two week increments.  I have compared the preferences on the "A" and "B" machines, and as far as I can see, there are no differences, yet this happens on one machine, but not the other.  Can anyone enlighten me on 1) why this is happening, 2) what is the purpose of these files whose names contain "-snp-", and 3) how to make them consistent between machines, either present on both or absent on both?  So far, I've not found enlightenment in The Fine Manual.  Thanks for any insights.
