samba - Feb 2021 - samba-tool gpo fetch ?

Hi all,

Im just testing the new features to backup and copy GPOs. I did a GPO
backup with "samba-tool gpo backup <gpo-id> --tmpdir=/some/path"
it
worked, I got the XML-files. I then deleted the GPO and could recover
the GPO. Nice feature, thank's to the developer for that. That's
something what was missing :-).

But the subcommand "samba-tool gpo fetch " makes no sens for me,
it's
like doing an "cp " of the GPO directory. Do I miss some point here?

Hi Stefan, what you missed was that you can do this from a Unix domain 
member.

e.g. sudo samba-tool gpo fetch {5E15535F-A99C-4626-A409-39813ACC7B9B} -H 
ldap://dc4 -UAdministrator
