[Samba] samba_backup script doesn't use tdbbackup for tdb files?

Greetings,
The backup and restore Samba AD DC section of SambaWiki [1] refers to
./source4/scripting/bin/samba_backup . Although my recent version of
samba_backup uses tdbbackup on ldb files, it appears to tar tdb files
"as is." [2]
What gives? Isn't tdbbackup specifically designed to backup tdb files?
Is it now possible to simply copy open tdb files into an archive?
Note.
1. https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Backup_and_restore_an_Samba_AD_DC
2. script snippet sans error handling
if [ "$d" = "private" ]; then
find $relativedirname -name "*.ldb.bak" -exec rm {} \;
for ldb in `find $relativedirname -name "*.ldb"`; do
tdbbackup $ldb
done
tar cjf ${WHERE}/samba4_${n}.${WHEN}.tar.bz2 $relativedirname --exclude=*.ldb >/dev/null 2>&1
Thank you,
