[Samba] Recover DC from backup

[Joachim Lindenberg]

This can cause inconsistencies. Backups are only to be used to restore an entire domain in case all DCs are dead. Otherwise rejoin DCs.

> Dear all,

> Quick question. Imagine a 4 DC infrastructure on LXC containers. All working
> as expected.
> 
> Suddenly a DC in container is accidentally deleted.  The obvious solution - and
> what I would do - is remote-demote the lost DC, create a new container and
> rejoin.
> 
>  However, there are plenty of daily backups of this lost machine. Would it be
> aceptable to just get the container from yesterday’s backup and fire it up ?
> Very little or no changes have been made in the last few days.
