Thank you,
I could open the files with dd and then pipe it to tar command.
is there any way to just create the tar file, I don't want to use
dd for restoring my backup ? is there any benefit of using dd ?
how can I customize the file name, and what is the 00001 and .1 stands
for in following names :
00001.hostname._tmp_backedup.1

you please let me know why backed up files are not ending with tar
and tar can not open it.
The files *contain* tar-formatted data, but also have headers. To see
the header:
dd if=dumpfile bs=1k count=32 | less
which will give instructions for a bare-metal recovery.
