Just completed a backup to a external hard drive (WD My book 6TB) from my xpenology (synology) setup, using a simple copy and paste command. Looking in the folders on the external drive, some not all but most have duplicate files with the same prefix ._ for example '._filename.jpg'
Inside all the files, opened with a text editor I seem to have something similar to the following:

How have I ended up with them, and how can I avoid generating them? Very annoying
