What do you mean by data loss? This bug is about the GUI not working,
but the backup itself should be fine. If your backup is corrupted in
anyway, you have another bug.

You must use the command line for dar to recover your backup. It's
described in the program's site and elsewhere. There are plenty
tutorials around on how to use dar via command line.
