samba - Apr 2019 - samba-tool backup offline not available (version 4.9.6) ?

Hello,

I've just upgraded to 4.9.6  and can't seem to be able to use the
'offline' backup?   It seems that the only options are:  online, rename,
and backup.

Can someone confirm this?  

I plan to get to migrating to 4.10.2, but I'm doing it incrementally:  
v4.7.6  -> v4.8.11 -> v4.9.6 -> v4.10.2

Before going to the v4.10.2, I want to backup my AD database using the 
'offline method'.

Any hints?   The 'online' method seems to have outstanding issues in the
v4.9.6 wrt SMBv1 (https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13676).

Otherwise, will the old 'samba_backup' script still create a
'useable'
backup with v4.9.6?

Thank You!

After reading a bit... I found that 'offline' backups are a new feature
of 4.10.x

However, I just posted a bug report because it throws an error when I
try to use it after having upgraded to 4.10.2:
