I think there is some misunderstanding about the purpose of backup and
restore. It is for catastrophic recovery only.

This is why it wants all roles to be included because if you lose your
cluster and the only backup you have is lacking a role, say the CA, that
is less than awesome.

A restore will disable all replication agreements. They can be
re-enabled but a restore by its very nature is going back in time which
is going to confuse the heck out of replication. At best any other
existing servers will need to be re-initialized. Otherwise they need to
be re-installed. Remember: catastrophic.

It is not designed for recovering a single entry that was accidentally
deleted, or an undesired edit. If periodic backups are done the data is
available in the stored LDIFs but it is an exercise for the user to
restore in that case.
