This tool may also be used to verify the integrity of the .tdb files prior + to samba startup, in which case, if it find file damage and it finds a prior backup + it will restore the backup file. + + + + + + OPTIONS + + + + + -s suffix + + The -s option allows the adminisistrator to specify a file + backup extension. This way it is possible to keep a history of tdb backup + files by using a new suffix for each backup. + + + + &stdarg.help; + + + -v + + The -v will check the database for damages (currupt data) + which if detected causes the backup to be restored. + + + + &popt.common.samba; + + + + + + + COMMANDS + + GENERAL INFORMATION + + + The tdbbackup utility should be run as soon as samba has shut down. + Do NOT run this command on a live database.
