Newbie - find with compress & move commands

[trs204]

For moving the files, planning to use like this.....
find / -iname "*.txt" -type f -exec /bin/mv {} /mnt/bckup \;

I want to do compressing before moving the files. Please suggest. I am not sure, if it is possible to use 2 commands using find.

thanks in advance.
