Multiple bkup files

Help

Hello again,
I’ve just see there are many bkup files in the hard drive where I store my encrypted vaults:

$ ls -lgo
total 40

-rw-rw-r--  1  287 mars   6  2022  vault.cryptomator.A4950786.bkup

Is there a problem on this vault? Should I delete it and create another one, or it’s normal and I should’nt worry?
Thank you

Hi.
This is normal. These backup files are created by Cryptomator. They can be used in case anything has happen to your masterkey file (lost, damaged, whatever).
