Long time *nix user myself as well (25 years), and yes, it's a bit of a
hiccup in the road, but if you have the lzip system installed in your
distro you should find that tar unpacks it fine with 'tar lxvf
ddrescue...tar.lz'.
I know myself that I keep typing in tar zxvf or jxvf, so now we have
lxvf.
Best of luck.
Paul.
