I tried to extract a backup of my survival_nether world;
-----------------------------------
minecraft@bacardi:~$ tar -jxvf survival_nether_2012-03-01.tar.bz2

bzip2: Compressed file ends unexpectedly;
perhaps it is corrupted? *Possible* reason follows.
bzip2: Inappropriate ioctl for device
Input file = (stdin), output file = (stdout)

It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted.
You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such files.

You can use the `bzip2recover' program to attempt to recover
data from undamaged sections of corrupted files.

tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
-----------------------------------

Is there a special way to extract backups, or are the files really corrupted? I get the same for all the backups I have stored.
