Yeah, 100% same error.

The bug is in the compression. If I expand and compress, without touching the folder, the new tar.gz crashes. If I try to restore from the original backup, it starts, but crashes in line 3.9M

The lines I use

```
tar -xvzf org-backup -C clean-folder

```

and

```
tar -cvzf new-backup -C clean-folder .

```

There is a dot in compress line, not in extract line

Anyway, thanks for trying 😄
