This isn't necessary. The script used tdbbackup to hot-backup the ldb
files during runtime. This generates *.ldb.bak files. And a later find
command excludes the *.ldb files (which may be inconsistent because not
exported via tdbbackup first) when doing tar.

So you only have to rename the *.ldb.bak files when you restore:
