#samba-tool domain backup offline --targetdir .
running backup on dirs: /var/db/samba4/private /var/db/samba4 /usr/local/etc
Starting transaction on /var/db/samba4/private/secrets
(...)

What is really hanged is a subprocess that samba-tool starts:
/usr/local/bin/tdbbackup -s .copy.tdb /var/db/samba4/private/secrets.ldb 



This is a  long standing issue since Samba 4.10 (which introduced this command).
Now I tried upgrading to 4.12, but nothing changed.

A discussion on Samba's mailing list suggested this might be caused by an older version of TDB and that that library should be bundled.

Building (in Poudriere) with SAMBA4_BUNDLED_TDB=yes, however will produce the following:
# samba-tool domain backup offline --targetdir .
running backup on dirs: /var/db/samba4/private /var/db/samba4 /usr/local/etc
Starting transaction on /var/db/samba4/private/secrets

samba412 expired and got removed, can you retry this with a later version?

(In reply to Rene Ladan from comment #1)

The problem persists with 4.16.7.
