    look to the folder where was located username.tar.gz. Now this archive should be there but with "home" name

    Just to add to this.

    
    mv home /home/username.tar.gz
    
    Code (markup):
    This will rename the file back to the previous file name and move it into the appropriate "home" directory.

    Hope this helps.
