Some further step...

It's samba-tool itself that locks the file before calling tdbbackup.

Running "samba-tool domain backup offline ..." spawns "tdbbackup -s 
.copy.tdb /var/db/samba4/private/secrets.ldb -r", which gets stuck.

Running "tdbbackup -s .copy.tdb /var/db/samba4/private/secrets.ldb -r" 
by itself completes without issues.



I read in domain_backup.py:

Could the problem be here?
I'm not attempting to alter this, before understanding it fully, though.
