I have googled a lot, but I have found no examples of the correct use of the tdbbackup program.
I am looking for some advice on how to use tdbbackup. I mean, I know I can simply run "tdbbackup *.tdb", but I was looking for in-depth information on when and how to use it, about best practices on using it, or what NOT to do. The Samba documentations says I should run it in my start/stop scripts, but it seems that no distribution actually does this. Why? Is there some drawback that I don't understand? I was thinking of running it every day as a chron job (not restarting Samba) and saving some backlog (some days worth of old backups). Is it useful? Since domain member machines change their domain password (am I correct?) automatically, if I restore an old backup can this lead to machines being unable to talk to the (samba) domain controller?
