A backup file of one of the intermediates in the calculation.  It is unimportant.

You can't.  The ss.xpm file is a default output file, as is the .xvg file.  If 
you don't need it, just delete it.  It's not like it would save any time to not 
write it out, the calculations are simply very slow for the DSSP algorithm.
