How to script freenas (freebsd) with tar command?

Question

bash

I have folders in one directory, like 20160426 (year, month, day), I need to place the archives of all such folders in another directory. Each folder has its own archive of the form 20160426.tar.gz
Now I do this with
handles
:
Is it somehow automated? There are other files and directories in the dir1 directory that do not need to be archived, only with dates.

Create a script that requires two arguments - what to pack and where to tarring.sh :

#!/usr/bin/env bash

echo Argument provided:$1 $2
echo CMD to execute: tar $2/${1##*/}.tar.gz ${1}

Run:

find /dir1 -type d -regextype posix-extended -regex '.*[0-9]{8}' -exec ./tarring.sh {} dir2 \;
