Hi folks, Is it possible to back up a Windows 2022 AD DC with samba-tool? And how could I restore it, if it's possible? Running "sudo samba-tool domain backup online --targetdir=/home/<some user>/<backupdir> --server=DC1.mydomain.talps -UAdministrator" gives me 2 compressed archives, one with the domain data, and one with sysvol information. The reason I ask is, that backing up the domain of a AD DC under Windows take ages, while the Samba version finishes within a few seconds.
