Is there any reason Backup & Migrate leaves all the .info files around?
There doesn't appear to be any value to keeping them.  To get rid of them, you can do something like this

cd /private/backup_migrate/scheduled  # where ever you keep this
for file in *.info; do gz_file=`echo "$file" | sed -e 's/.info//'`; if [[ ! -f "${gz_file}" ]]; then rm -f "${file}"; fi; done


This will preserve all *.info files that correspond to a *.gz file, and delete the rest.  It appears to be an oversight on the part of the Backup &amp; Migrate module to leave all of these lying around.   (Apologies in advance to the module's maintainers if I'm mistaken on this:  I do not mean to be critical, and I appreciate your work!)

If you want to wrap all this up into a quick alias or function, you can put something like this into your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc or whatever:

function cleanup_backups(){ 
  pushd /&lt;youfillinthispart&gt;/private/backup_migrate/scheduled
  for file in *.info; do
    gz_file=`echo "$file" | sed -e 's/.info//'` 
    if [[ ! -f "${gz_file}" ]]; then
      rm -f "${file}"
    fi
  done
  pushd
}


(You'll have to make it a bit more complicated if you have subdirectories in your scheduled backups folder, but this should get you started.)
