Is this normal to see these files in /var/backups/md?
No. My md folder has 64kb of data in it, and it has no tmp folder.
Perhaps check the file dates - if they are old (or if no backup jobs are running) it should be safe to delete everything in /tmp
You could copy them to the data volume if you want to be very conservative.

Thanks! I removed the tmp files... no idea why they were there, but really appreciate it.
