[Samba] Script to sync xID/idmap.ldb, some questions...

I'm scripting the ''replica'' of DC xID db (idmap.ldb) between DCs,
following:

	https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Joining_a_Samba_DC_to_an_Existing_Active_Directory#Built-in_User_.26_Group_ID_Mappings

but i've two question.


1) because i've just in place the sysvol replica, i've thinked of
 copying the 'idmap.ldb.bak' file on sysvol share (in debian,
/var/lib/samba/sysvol/), so the file get simply replicated between DC.
It is forbidden/not good policy/... to have ''extraneous'' files on
sysvol?


2) looking at wiki (above link) seems to me that, to restore the DB on
 other dc it suffices to copy the db over the existant and do:

	net cache flush

really it is not needed to stop samba before copy, or restart it after
the copy?


Thanks.
