best practices: automatic backups of .tdb files with samba 3.0?

[Steve Langasek]

Hi folks,

Andrew Bartlett recently brought it to my attention that in Samba 3.0, tdbs
are not journalled databases, with the consequence that a server failure
(say, power loss) can result in tdb corruption.  Since hardware failures are
a fact of life, should we in Debian be automatically backing up the important
.tdbs on a regular basis?  What are the best practices of other distributors
in this area?

Cheers,
