samba - Nov 2020 - samba-tool domain backup online

Hello,

Can the samba-tool domain backup online command backup the domain from any
DC in the domain or does --server= need to specify a server with a
particular FSMO role?

I can run the samba-tool domain backup online successfully when I specify
one of my two DCs in --server= but not the other. Is this to be expected?

Many thanks.

Kind regards,

Stacey Richards

It should work against any DC, it just does the same as a domain join.

No.  That is unusual.

What is the error?
