I know restoring a domain control from a backup will break things but what would happen if I restored a backup from the future? I have this one crazy uncle (don't we all) that left me a time machine. Would restoring a backup from the future create a paradox?

Well, you probably wouldn't know any of the passwords. All the logs would be from the future which shouldnt cause real issues, But the log clients would probably just play things out of order, or maybe in order but confusing? depending on how far in the future, crypto keys might not be valid yet.
