>From the gzip man page:
If you wish to create a single archive file with multiple
members so that members can later be extracted indepen-
dently, use an archiver such as tar or zip. GNU tar sup-
ports the -z option to invoke gzip transparently. gzip is
designed as a complement to tar, not as a replacement.
The good news is, that while I don't know how you could get the individual files out,
all your data is there and if it is html then it will be easy to find the file
boundries.
You probably wanted to do something like
tar -cz * > backup.tar.gz
and
tar -xzf backup.tar.gz

Assuming you are.
