If I am going to delete stuff after archiving it into a tar (and I prefer a zip so you have random access to every file, and compression tailored to every file), youshould have marker times or files with times so the only files you remove are unchanged since a second before the tar/zip. Also, I like to get the names out of a tar (or unzip) listing, in case there is a problem with the tar (or zip) file, like running out of space or being signalled. Also, check $? one way or another so you do not proceed when things went awry!
There are tools like jdbc from hxtt that can SQL query wild card lists of files in trees, including zip files as if dirs and their internal trees in mid-tree, so the archived data is still a peer to raw files.

ocf_heartbeat_rsyncd
OCF_HEARTBEAT_RSYNCD(7) OCF resource agents OCF_HEARTBEAT_RSYNCD(7)
NAME
ocf_heartbeat_rsyncd - Manages an rsync daemon
SYNOPSIS
rsyncd [start | stop | monitor | meta-data | validate-all]
DESCRIPTION
This script manages rsync daemon
SUPPORTED PARAMETERS
binpath
The rsync binary path. For example, "/usr/bin/rsync"
(optional, string, default "rsync")
conffile
The rsync daemon configuration file name with full path. For example, "/etc/rsyncd.conf"
(optional, string, default "/etc/rsyncd.conf")
bwlimit
This option allows you to specify a maximum transfer rate in kilobytes per second. This option is most effective when using rsync with
large files (several megabytes and up). Due to the nature of rsync transfers, blocks of data are sent, then if rsync determines the
transfer was too fast, it will wait before sending the next data block. The result is an average transfer rate equaling the specified
limit. A value of zero specifies no limit.
(optional, string, no default)
SUPPORTED ACTIONS
This resource agent supports the following actions (operations):
start
Starts the resource. Suggested minimum timeout: 20s.
stop
Stops the resource. Suggested minimum timeout: 20s.
monitor
Performs a detailed status check. Suggested minimum timeout: 20s. Suggested interval: 60s.
validate-all
Performs a validation of the resource configuration. Suggested minimum timeout: 20s.
meta-data
Retrieves resource agent metadata (internal use only). Suggested minimum timeout: 5s.
EXAMPLE
The following is an example configuration for a rsyncd resource using the crm(8) shell:
primitive p_rsyncd ocf:heartbeat:rsyncd
op monitor depth="0" timeout="20s" interval="60s"
