CedarBackup3.actions.stage.executeStage(configPath, options, config)

Executes the stage backup action.

Note: The daily directory is derived once and then we stick with it, just in case a backup happens to span midnite.

Note: As portions of the stage action is complete, we will write various indicator files so that it’s obvious what actions have been completed. Each peer gets a stage indicator in its collect directory, and then the master gets a stage indicator in its daily staging directory. The store process uses the master’s stage indicator to decide whether a directory is ready to be stored. Currently, nothing uses the indicator at each peer, and it exists for reference only.

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

• config (Config object) – Program configuration

Raises

• ValueError – Under many generic error conditions

• IOError – If there are problems reading or writing files
