I haven't used that script1, but it looks like it duplicates both partitions into an .img file, then tar & gzips that. To extract the .img:

tar -xzf whatever.tar.gz

You can then mount and work with the partitions in the image following the instructions here. You can also use the .img to create an SD card following these instructions.
