dokku-mongo export Database command is showing error "This does not look like a tar archive"

$ tar -xfv backup.tar
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

As per github dukku-mongodb documentation by @josegonzalez here I don't think the export is actually a tar. The readme we have is wrong, but if you run dokku mongo:help export, you'll see the correct usage.
Here's what dokku mongo:help export says:
export a dump of the MongoDB service database
arguments:
service service to run command against
examples:
by default, datastore output is exported to stdout
dokku mongo:export lolipop
you can redirect this output to a file
dokku mongo:export lolipop > lolipop.dump
