[Samba] Problem with backup and initiation

You're welcome ;)

Q1: no idea. We did that using our own little knowledge of the product.
This means we did try several times before getting something acceptable.
Unfortunately for now I'm not sure at all we get something more than
acceptable... ie for now we expect our domain do not fail :)
Note we have lot of DC on so we also rely on the hope that the DB itself
won't go too much ccrazy to need a restoration. This because with several
DC, as each DC as its own DB, as long as there is one DC with a coherent DB
we don't care about restoration.
With one DC with coherent DB the process is: kill all other DC (or just all
broken DC) and join some new ones (new ones because VM, easy to start from
fresh system).

Q2: my English is very... personal : ) I do not fully understand you
question...
Anyway I expect the question is something like "how to use systemd to deal
with samba?"
As I have no Debian here, only Redhat (bosses choices...), I can't guaranty
you anything.
Anyway service file (or "unit" file to speak systemd) are generally
stored
into:
/lib/systemd/system
/usr/lib/systemd/system

With samba as ADDC to start samba you can use the following:
systemctl start samba-ad
systemctl stop samba-ad (to stop it)

and "locate samba-ad" should give you were is that file.

Hoping I'm not too far of the subject...
