Ah ok, i think this is a misunderstanding...
The your archive file home-20-06-2007-05-55.tar.gz is corrupt, not
a single file in it.
"unexpected end of file" means that gzip cannot handle the zip file
correctly, not a file in it called "file". Gzip is a stream
compression, it doesn't know anything about the format of the file
it (de)compresses. Maybe you can extract parts of your file using
gzip -d -c | tar x.
Or maybe it is indeed a tar file but compressed with some other program (or not
at all) and you're being misled by the .gz extension. Has happened to me, too.
Use
$ file home-20-06-2007-05-55.tar.gz
to see what really is in this file, then proceed accordingly.
--D.
I use tar (tar -cvvf) to compress this archive. It's not a file, it's an
archive .tar.gz.
