I used below code as suggested by Porter for compressing and copying directory.
find ${COPY_DIR} -type f | while read N
do
mkdir -p "${BACKUP_DIR}/`dirname $N`"
gzip < $N > ${BACKUP_DIR}/$N.gz
done
However I have some directories which have space in name. I get below error when copying and compressing directories which have sapce in name.
/backup/sidora/iAS/ifs1.1/doc/Quick Tour/Graphics/rtarr.gif.gz: cannot create
Any ideas on how can I take fix above error. Thanks in advance.

Is there a way to copy a file and compress it at the same time?
I realize the file can be copied and then compressed, but I was wondering if it's possible to do it in a one-line command and for that matter, if it would be more efficient to perform the operation with a one-line command?
Thanks. (5 Replies)

NAME
efi_cp - copy to or from EFI file
SYNOPSIS
devicefile] file1 file2
devicefile] file1 [file2]... dest-directory
devicefile] file_or_dir1 [file_or_dir2]... dest-directory
DESCRIPTION
copies files between HP-UX and EFI file systems.
The EFI file system is based on the FAT file system and used by the Itanium-based system BIOS to locate an HP-UX bootloader. See efi(4).
Without the option, copies from an HP-UX file system to the EFI volume specified by devicefile; in this case, the destination should be
relative to the root of the EFI volume specified by devicefile. Use the option to copy from an EFI file system to an HP-UX file system;
with the option, only a single regular file may be copied at a time.
With two arguments:
o If file2 does not exist, creates it and copies the contents of file1 into file2.
o If file2 exists and is a regular file, deletes the the contents of file2 and copies the contents of file1 into file2.
o If file2 exists and is a directory, creates a copy of file1 in that directory.
With more than two arguments, the final argument must be an existing directory. If any of the other arguments is a directory, you must use
the option, which specifies that the source directory and the subtree rooted there are to be copied to the destination directory.
Options
Options can be used singly or combined in any order before the file names. The space between option and argument is optional.
devicefile is the device special file of the EFI file system to be copied. Without the option, uses the device file specified in the
environment variable if it is defined. The option overrides the environment variable.
Recursively copy the subtree rooted at each source directory to
the destination directory.
Copy file1 from an EFI volume to file2 in HP-UX file system. file1 should be relative to the root of the EFI volume specified by
devicefile, not to an HP-UX file system. With the option, only a single regular file may be copied at a time.
RETURN VALUE
returns exit code 0 if the copy is successful. Otherwise it prints a diagnostic message and returns nonzero.
0 Successful completion.
>0 Error condition occurred.
