+
+ <para>tdbbackup [-s suffix] *.tdb</para>
+
+ <para>
+ Before restarting samba the following command may be run to validate .tdb files:
+ </para>
+
+ <para>tdbbackup -v [-s suffix] *.tdb</para>
+
+ <para>
+ Samba .tdb files are stored in various locations, be sure to run backup all
+ .tdb file on the system. Important files includes:
+ </para>
