I suggest you destroy your 'spares', they will be too far out of date
when you come to use them. I suggest when you fix your AD domain, you
back it up with samba-tool regularly.

Big problem there, a Samba AD DC must be authoritative for the AD dns
domain. Whilst you can use another dns server for your clients, this
dns server must be set up to forward ALL AD domain dns requestts to the
AD DC.
Anything else will lead to problems.

Don't blame you, but you are going to have to do something, you appear
to be going around in circles.
