I did this just a few days ago to rebuild my server.
Backup the following files: /etc/passwd /etc/shadow /etc/group /etc/samba/* /home/*
If you have to rebuild, you can just copy these files back to their original locations then restart Samba. All of your Linux and Samba user accounts will be recreated. It's as simple as that.
