BAK files are backup files. They are appended when we deploy the par file to the server. This means server keeps the par as backup in pcd directory. So each time server is restarted, these bak files are not updated. But if you try to place a par file in the pcd folder, after server is restarted, the file will be automatically have .bak extn added.
The files which are uploaded to server are uploaded as par. Then the par files are attached bak extn as backup files. Now if you don't have to remove the bak extn unless you need to change something in the par file or the application. Because the par files are used for deploying, if we want to do some changes, we convert the bak to par, thereby making it easier to import in developer studio. Once new par is ready, we can deploy it to server and it will be automatically converted to .par.bak extn.
