that's just what it should do - strip all headers, and leave an out.tar.gz 
that you can unpack with tar -xzvf.

hmmm... normally it works fine that way. maybe your ftp-client guessed that 
the .qub file is an ascii-file because its first lines are text (it isn't, 
choose "binary" manually). or there is the same problem like on older 
raq2/3 (the box transferred the backup archive in ascii mode in some 
cases). or the download is just broken. or pfe32 saved the file in ascii 
mode. or... many possibilities. as i said, normally it works fine. maybe 
you can try to unpack it directly with gunzip instead of using winzip?

regards, jonas.
