Samba4 only supports UTF8, and only correctly operates if all the input
values are UTF8 (it does not change character sets for LDB or LDAP
operations).

If your values are being corrupted, then look first at what charset the
input file is in.

As to backing up your Samba database, take a copy of all the files in
private, including in particular the sam.ldb.d directory and sam.ldb.
You can export it to LDIF using ldbsearch, including the passwords with
ldbsearch, but you must specify these additional attributes:

	currentValue
	dBCSPwd
	initialAuthIncoming
	initialAuthOutgoing
	lmPwdHistory
	ntPwdHistory
	priorValue
	supplementalCredentials
	trustAuthIncoming
	trustAuthOutgoing
	unicodePwd

(that's the attributes that passwords and other secret things are in).
