I made a backup on a linux machine using dejadup or duplicity. All the files are .difftar files. I have been trying to decompress them on Windows 10 and also the old linux machine but nothing really works. I have tried simply unzipping with 7-Zip and PeaZip which gives the image pasted done with PeaZip. I'm going bonkers and if anyone has a method to decompress these files I'd surely appreciate it. I have tried duplicati, Hasleo, Aomei, installed cygwin with dejadup and duplicity (which looked promising but threw so many errors it's not funny). Can anyone help with this. I do have the manifest to help look for what I want, but it's 40 gigs of material.

Either a program or app to use or instructions. I do have the manifest to help look for what I want, but it's 40 gigs of material.
I also made a live CD of elementary OS to see if that would help to access a copy of the duplicity difftars on the windows machine, and still nothing and more of the same. The docs on duplicity and PeaZip have been very unhelpful and light.
there was a documentation page, which since has vanished but is archived here

if you need more help i suggest you join the duplicity mailing list and ask there or open a ticket on https://gitlab.com/duplicity/duplicity/-/issues .
