How to unpack an old Bitrix dump?

Question

PHP

Hello! I have an old site dump on Bitrix, 2010, it contains the data I need. It is not possible to unpack, winrar says that the archive is broken, I found an old topic on the Bitrix forum and there this message says that you can only unpack the backup copy of the site using restore.php. The new restore.php does not unpack (it says successful, but there are no files in the root). Give the old restore.php, the one that was in 2010-2011, maybe he can unpack the archive. Very necessary!

All old versions of Bitrix (and new ones, too) used the tar.gz archive format.
Try to upload the archive to a hosting with an SSH connection and unzip it via the command line
. Where "bitrix_dump.tar.gz" is the name of the archive.
