Don't go lengths to reverse engineer commercial file systems that are
rarely used and have their problems. Let the user do tar backups to
tape, and then read the tape from Linux. Any decent Amiga (that is used
by a serious user) has a SCSI interface and used Tandberg TDC 3820
drives are often sold below EUR 25 in Germany. 525 MB are not much, but
usually sufficient for Amigas (plus, the user could use more than one
tape).
