I would guess that the line terminations are getting you. Windows has cr/lf and Unix just lf. Since you're backing up the file in a binary fashion, when you restore it to another platform, your terminations aren't going to match what the OS expected.
This is also one of the reasons that cross-platform catalog migrations aren't supported.

Hello guys,
I have this 20GB TAR file (created with 7zip) on a Windows machine. I perform
a backup of this TAR file and everything goes ok. When I restored the file
on a Linux host I first noticed the file size was off by a few bytes and I'm
unable to extract it. I then verified with md5sum and I get a different hash
from that of the original file (on Windows I use the md5sum.exe from
etree.org).
I really don't know if it's something going on while doing the backup or while
doing the restore :( How would you troubleshoot this since there's no
backup verification process on NBU?
Thanks,
Jorge
