Win 7 SystemImage ETL Files

Hi,
Using Win 7 X 64 Pro.

I regularly create System Image Backups and save to an external HDD. I note that in C:\Windows\Logs\windowsBackup Folder ther are several
 SystemImage ETL Files.
I'm assuming these were created as part of the process of creating a System Image'
My question is are these files used on a subsequent re-image? I'm assuming not as these files could well be corrupted and thus render a re-image useless,
However I am double checking with you guys.

They are event logs - https://www.techwalla.com/articles/the-location-of-the-windows-backup-log

Boggin:
If you read the article I've linked, they record if any files or folders have been skipped during the back up.

They aren't your system images.

Magdalene:
Got it. I did'nt scroll down past the video on the page and missed that bit of info.
So can get rid of these SystemImage ETL Files then.

Thanks for your help,
Magdalene
