I call them brake backing plates. You can replace or remove it (although they do fill a function).

They are a fail item, have had a recent fail on corroded dust shields. Pain in the hole.

It's a fail anymore if they're missing.

It is a fail and these can be very expensive to replace on some cars, others its a quick bolt on job Yours unfortunately is not one of the easier ones
