Find all subfolders and copy their contents

Question

Currently I have the following code for copying all folders to a new location:

find /var/CommuniGate/Accounts/ -name 'Archive.folder' | cpio -pdm archiv_mount/

It works fine, but only copies the Archive.folder. How can I also copy everything that is contained in Archive.folder?

is there any reason why you don't use rsync? cpio doesn't support recursive copying of directories — oguz ismail, Nov 19 '19 at 09:23
`find /var/CommuniGate/Accounts -path '*/Archive.folder/*' | cpio -pdm archiv_mount/` — jhnc, Nov 19 '19 at 09:42

With find you can execute some commands, for example copy with recursion:

find /var/CommuniGate/Accounts/ -name 'Archive.folder' -exec cp -Rp {} archiv_mount/ \;
