I reran that now and have to add some more information:

That size value increases up to the mentioned 12472320 kb ... and until 
then tar is running.

Then the tar file seems to end, and amrecover says:

/bin/gzip: 
                                                         /bin/gzip: 
gzip: stdin: decompression OK, trailing garbage ignored

tar has stopped then,also no more gzip process visible.

The tested DLE is encrypted and compressed. Yes, redundant ... I can 
change that in the future.

The first part gets read perfectly, but it seems that the end of the 
tarball crashes things somehow.

I remember that error from mailing list threads .. I will research later 
when I am back at my office.
