Mirror.fil is created when you run the PCtools compress program.
It is the file that allows pctools to recover files that are
accidently erased.  The .bak is just that, a backup copy of
the mirror file.  When you run compress, and it asks if it
should run mirror, reply no and this file will not be created.
The file can be deleted (it is read only) without any 
problems, if so desired.
