The problem with getting the backup script from the source code is that 
it is hardcoded for /usr/local/samba.

You only really need a backup script if you only have one DC, the best 
way to backup your AD, add another DC.

If you do decide to backup your AD, you will have to decide when and how 
often you create a backup, this is because infrequent backups are 
worthless. Unless you are sure that your backup contains every change, 
you could find yourself minus all changes made since the last backup.
