+ The <span><strong class="command">tdbbackup</strong></span> utility can safely be run at any time. It was designed so
+ that it can be used at any time to validate the integrity of tdb files, even during Samba
+ operation. Typical usage for the command will be:
+ </p><p>tdbbackup [-s suffix] *.tdb</p><p>
+ Before restarting samba the following command may be run to validate .tdb files:
+ </p><p>tdbbackup -v [-s suffix] *.tdb</p><p>
+ Samba .tdb files are stored in various locations, be sure to run backup all
+ .tdb file on the system. Important files includes:
+ </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>

+ directory, or on some systems in /etc/samba.
+ </p></li><li><p>
+ <span><strong class="command">passdb.tdb</strong></span> - usual location is in the /usr/local/samba/private
