Idea taken from the basement, one can't extract a single file out from a backup created thru tar command. Please consider ufsdump instead.

cimreparchive(8) System Manager's Manual cimreparchive(8)
NAME
cimreparchive - create an archive copy of the CIM Server repository
SYNOPSIS
cimreparchive archive_file
cimreparchive --help
cimreparchive --version
DESCRIPTION
The cimreparchive command creates an archive copy of the CIM Server repository in the specified archive_file. The archive copy is assured
to contain a consistent repository state even if it is created while the CIM Server is running.
The archive_file is created using the tar(1) command. To restore the repository from the archive_file, stop the cimserver, move the active
repository files to a different location, use tar(2) to extract the archived repository files, and restart the cimserver. (Note that the
repository location is printed when an archive file is created.)
Options
cimreparchive recognizes the following options:
--help Displays the command help message.
--version Displays the CIM Server version number.
EXIT STATUS
When an error occurs, an error message is written to the standard error stream and a non-zero exit status value is returned. The following
exit status values are defined:
0 Success
1 General error
2 Failed to initiate archive operation
3 Archive operation failed
SEE ALSO
cimserver(8), tar(1).
