samba - Mar 2014 - Samba_backup for TDB files

Hello,

In the Backup and Recovery it states that .ldb and *.tdb files can be  
backuped online with 'tdbbackup', but the samba_backup script only uses
tdbbackup for .ldb, the .tdb files are simply tared from the source  
directory. Is this safe?

No, it isn't safe.  Patches to improve it are very welcome!

Thanks,
