You want to make an backup of your 4760 software?

Then you have to backup these files, because these are (or should be) consistent databases of omnivista.
The may be big, because of many tickets in the accounting tables. You can reduce the size, if you start an defragmentation in the 4760 maintenance.
After the next scheduled backup you will get an smaller backup directory.

Be very careful when defraging the databases if your 4760 is R3.0, as it does not re-index the databases correctly after a defrag. If this happens, you will find that some services do not restart.

It can be recovered by using the Sun console and manually re-indexing. The BPWS has a TC explaining this, but I can't recall which one (not at work at the moment.)

Those files are the compressed files of all data needed to rebuild you omnivista system.
The files are compressed so you cannot make them smaller. All these files are needed to restore the database.
You could make a compressed file in zip or rar format divided over blocks of XMb to finally backup the data.
