Question #190355 on sbackup changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/sbackup/+question/190355

Description changed to:
I had backed up for a FAT Partition with 10 2 GB Blocks, totaling 21 GB
approx. Now i am not able to restore the same, and the archive is not
recognized by sbackup.

While backing up it created 11 2 GB blocks. These files are available as
files.tar, files-2.tar etc.,  till files-11.tar. Only files.tar is
available for extraction, by tar xf, even though it gives an EOF error.
The full 21 GB file seemed to have been compressed / split, as all
includes list show just a single archive file.

My harddrive crashed and i am not able to recover the data fully. Hence
this data is critical. This was done around 11 months back. So not sure
if the Sbackup version then and now is a problem. Since my system
crashed, have no clue on the version with which the archive was created.
The version file shows 1.5 in the archive folder.

What options exist:

1. Can i concatenate these files using tar --concatenate?. 
2. Can i cat them together to one more file?.
3. Is there a chance that the files would have got corrupted, when i opened it one by one earlier?
