Someone else commented about file size limitations and this is far more of a problem with MS type files systems.
Check what type it is and if not one of the Linux/unix style ones change and start again.
You may find that works better.
But remember non MS file system may/may not be readable by MS based systems.

Mailer: Evolution 3.44.1-0ubuntu1
Update!!!!
I started recovering the file with gzrt, et.
getting closer. So anyone who falls into such a hole may find some
salvation.
However, and for the list: Recovering with gzrt and cpio gave me some
error messages that certain (lots of) files/folders couldn't be
created because they already existed. That made me think the recover
commands I had entered attempted to recreate the mail and data in my
existing Evolution. So I did another Evolution backup (shame on me) of
the existing Evolution data, to the same external hard drive, and then
tried recover - thinking I would remove Evolution and reinstall it
with no data. I tested the backup .tar.gz to be careful, but I got
the same error message that the file was invalid. So I did a backup
again, but this time to the internal hard drive. Voila! Backup and
Recover were successful. So there's something about the process or
the external hard drive (or both?) that prevents the creation of a
valid .tar.gz backup file on my hard drive. It was recently
formatted, so I'm at a loss to explain.
More to come. (I hope the list will indulge me because I'm a noob on
most of the Linux command structure.)
