I have backup Image backup_image.img.gz which is 250gb I would like to extract only 1 file which is /etc/csf/csf.conf from this .gz file. I would like also to keep backup_image.img.gz.
I used this this command to create archive
dd if=/dev/sda conv=sync,noerror bs=64K | gzip -c > /ext/backups/backup_image.img.gz &
disk-image gunzip

This is really "extract one file from.imgarchive", which requires knowing what format that image is in before it's possible to tell whether it's possible. I think it's unlikely, but you can edit in more information and somebody might be able to tell you.

If this is a standard partition backup image (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMG_%28file_format%29) then i agree with Mr Homer it's unlikely that you can retrieve a single file, or any subset of files, until you reestablish the partition image. After-all it is just sequential disk sectors in this form. There isn't even an available directory structure until it's rebuilt.
