This tool may also be used to verify the integrity of the \&.tdb files prior to samba startup or during normal operation\&.

This way it is possible to keep a history of tdb backup files by using a new suffix for each backup\&. +.RE +.PP +\-v +.RS 4 +The +\fB\-v\fR +will check the database for damages (corrupt data) which if detected causes the backup to be restored\&. +.RE +.PP +\-l +.RS 4 +This options disables any locking, by passing TDB_NOLOCK to tdb_open_ex()\&.
