Hi,

I used the af7 program to merge the files:
http://www.fauland.com/af7.htm

I could open the resulting file using winrar and 7zip (tried both) and created 
a 
backup.tar file. However, now I am not able to open the .tar file with winrar 
or 
7zip! There were no errors while opening the bzip2 file.

So what can be the problem now? Does anybody use archive with bzip2?

Thanks,
Evren
