[Samba] backup AD content

[L.P.H. van Belle]

Hai Guys, 

In addition to Andrews comment. 

It might be handy to tell also about the versions.. 
samba-tool domain backup command as of samba 4.9+  ( except not the offline command ) 
samba-tool domain backup offline as of samba 4.10+ 

That script is not adjusted for that yet but that is coming soon. 

Greetz, 

Louis
