we have log files generating from different sources and storing in directories & sub-directories. The directory structure is something like below.

I want to tar & zip the file older than 30 days maintaining the directory structure and delete the archived files after the tar & zip.

Can someone help me with this? How this can be achieved.

find dataload -type f -mtime +30 -exec tar -rf archive.tar {} + -exec rm -f {} +

Run find with dataload as the parent directory. Process files that have been modified more that 30 days ago. Append as many files as possible (+) to an archive file "archive.tar" by using the tar -r flag. Then remove the files.
