Hi, Currently, we have at my job a Samba 4 AD DC with 2 DC are running over Samba 4.1.11 version. I know both servers are out date. I want to update this version to the latest version (4.9.3), but I'm not confident about the process to do it. I've read on wiki.samba.org that is recommended read all release notes to version x.x.0 and all release notes the latest version you pretend update your Samba and I've done it, but I've had more doubts. I've thought in two possible process to update my Samba version: 1. Update samba to all 4.x.0 version (4.2.0, 4.3.0, 4.4.0, 4.5.0, 4.6.0, 4.7.0, 4.8.0 and 4.9.0) then update to 4.9.3. OR 2. Update directly to 4.9.3 version. What do you think? Somebody can help me about this doubt? Best regards -- Igor Sousa
I've tried use samba-tool domain backup, but the command "backup" doesn't exist in 4.1.11 version. I've tried create a offline backup to restore it in new machine that runs samba 4.9.3. Is possible restore a oldest version samba backup into newest samba version?
