samba - Sep 2016 - Migration or Replication Samba 4 ADDC

Hello, i have a server with samba 4.1 as ADDC and I want to virtualize.

I would like to know how I can migrate my current Samba 4.1 domain
controller to the virtual server or if is better create a new Domain
Controller virtualized as shown in the wiki and then turn off the primary
ADDC.

https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Join_an_additional_Samba_DC_to_an_existing_Active_Directory

Let me know that you recommend.

My current version of Samba is 4.1.0

I have backups of:
sysvol, private, etc.

Greetings.

* You can join an additional DC (VM), transfer the FSMO roles and demote
the old one.

* You can copy the whole hard disk to your VM disk image and restore the
boot loader. Alternatively there are a lot of tools to convert a
physical to virtual (P2V) disk.
