CedarBackup3.actions.collect.executeCollect(configPath, options, config)

Executes the collect backup action.

Note: When the collect action is complete, we will write a collect indicator to the collect directory, so it’s obvious that the collect action has completed. The stage process uses this indicator to decide whether a peer is ready to be staged.

Parameters

• configPath (String representing a path on disk) – Path to configuration file on disk

• options (Options object) – Program command-line options

• config (Config object) – Program configuration

Raises

• ValueError – Under many generic error conditions

• TarError – If there is a problem creating a tar file
