[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#473651: [samba] Add a regular backup of .tdb files

[Gilles Mocellin]

Package: samba
Version: 3.0.28a-1
Severity: minor

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
I recently had a corrupted /var/lib/samba/winbind_idmap.tdb file.
It was not cool to recover.

I saw a crontab file for (/etc/cron.daily/samba) which backups the smbpasswd 
file.

It could also make a tdbbackup of all files in /var/lib/samba 
and /var/cache/samba.

It's harmless. Can be run online. And really helpfull in case of corruption.
