Those are configuration files (along with pg_ident.conf) and don't contain
your data. You probably want a back of those as well, but you may not need
them when restoring your data if that instance of postgres has already
been configured. Also if the machine you are restoring to is significantly
different than the original machine, you may want to tweak those files.
