[Samba] Samba AD/DC crashed again, third time in as many months

I rebuilt samba 4.3.3 and overwrote my existing install, samba still
collapses unceremoniously.  I've now stopped samba, moved necessary dirs to
a safe backup location, and executed the required steps to restore backup
files created with samba_backup per the wiki.  I've hit a roadblock
though... I chose to backup ACLs when I ran the backup script but the
section on restoration in the wiki makes no mention of what to do to
restore the archives that contains them...  Please advise, this is the last
step prior to cranking her over to determine if I'm staying up all night
rebuilding this domain from scratch.
