They're usually called "zone files" or "DB files".  I've never heard "DDF"
before -- where did you get that from?

DNS transfers zones, not files.  All the data that was in the INCLUDEd
files should be in the zone file on the secondary server.

The primary sends all the records that are in the zone, as a big DNS
response to a zone transfer query by the secondary.  It's not sent as text,
but in the internal binary format that DNS uses (see RFC 1035).
