These are probably just log files for your consumption. Likely someone
rotated them at some point. Simply do "head rrd-data.old" and see the
oldest log entry, then use tail, and check the last entry. You can
almost certainly just delete the file if the dates are more than a
couple of weeks old, as the data is likely no longer useful.
