Hi,
I unpacked the tar on the backup server itself, which is also the host on
which I used firefox to download the tarfile.
The only tar I found is version 1.23 (corresponding to the debian/testing tar

BackupPC_zipCreate on the CLI?
No, sorry, I've not tried zip yet.

There is something *very* wrong with either the tar used to make the
archive, or the tar used to restore. I wouldn't trust anything it
outputs at all.
What version of tar on both ends?
