Help with archiving using find

Dear Unix Experts,

I am trying to backup some legacy data based on date. I am pasting a small portion from the ls -al command from my session for reference.

Code:

athena>ls -al

./nmr/exam1d_13C:
total 32
drwxrwxrwx    3 root     root         4096 May  1  2008 1/
drwxrwxrwx    3 root     root         4096 Apr 11  2008 2/
drwxrwxrwx   14 root     root         4096 Jan 22  2008 ../
drwxrwxrwx    3 root     root         4096 Jan 13  2005 6/
drwxrwxrwx    3 root     root         4096 Jan 13  2005 5/
drwxrwxrwx    8 root     root         4096 Mar 30  2004 ./

./nmr/exam2d_HC:
total 24
drwxrwxrwx    3 root     root         4096 Apr 11  2008 1/
drwxrwxrwx    3 root     root         4096 Dec 21  2004 4/
drwxrwxrwx   14 root     root         4096 Jan 22  2008 ../
drwxrwxrwx    6 root     root         4096 Mar 30  2004 ./

I am trying to archive these files based on the year like below. Just to complicate things a little bit more, I expect to see sub-directories like 1/ 2/ and so on. under ./nmr/exam1d_13C/1 etc.

Code:

./nmr/exam1d_13C/1 to /archive/2008/nmr/exam1d_13C/1
./nmr/exam1d_13C/2 to /archive/2008/nmr/exam1d_13C/2
./nmr/exam1d_13C/5 to /archive/2005/nmr/exam1d_13C/5
./nmr/exam1d_13C/6 to /archive/2005/nmr/exam1d_13C/6
./nmr/exam2d_HC/1 to /archive/2008/nmr/exam2d_HC/1
./nmr/exam2d_HC/4 to /archive/2008/nmr/exam2d_HC/4

I am stuck. I tried using find, but with no success. I would appreciate any help.

Thanks
Jaison

Next time use CODE-tags when posting code, data or logs to enhance readability and keep formatting like indention etc., ty.

rpm2cpio

rpm2cpio(1)							   User Commands						       rpm2cpio(1)

NAME

       rpm2cpio - convert Red Hat Package (RPM) to cpio archive

SYNOPSIS

       rpm2cpio [file.rpm]

DESCRIPTION

       The  rpm2cpio  utility converts the .rpm file specified as its sole argument to a cpio archive on standard output. (See NOTES.) If no argu-
       ment is given, an rpm stream is read from standard input. In both cases, rpm2cpio will fail and print a usage message if the standard  out-
       put is a terminal. Therefore, the output is usually redirected to a file or piped through the cpio(1) utility.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1 Converting an rpm file

	 example% rpm2cpio Device3Dfx-1.1-2.src.rpm | cpio -itv
	 CPIO archive found!
	 -rw-r--r--  1 root  root  2635 Sep 13 16:39 1998, 3dfx.gif
	 -rw-r--r--  1 root  root 11339 Sep 27 16:03 1998, Dev3Dfx.tar.gz
	 -rw-r--r--  1 root  root  1387 Sep 27 16:04 1998, Device3Dfx-1.1-2.spec
	 31 blocks

       Example 2 Converting from standard input

	 example% rpm2cpio < Device3Dfx-1.1-2.src.rpm | cpio -itv
	 CPIO archive found!
	 -rw-r--r--  1 root  root  2635 Sep 13 16:39 1998, 3dfx.gif
	 -rw-r--r--  1 root  root 11339 Sep 27 16:03 1998, Dev3Dfx.tar.gz
	 -rw-r--r--  1 root  root  1387 Sep 27 16:04 1998, Device3Dfx-1.1-2.spec
	 31 blocks
