Does robocopy /move actually "move" directories when on same local hard drive?

Question

The MSDOS move sourceDirectory destinationDirectory command when sourceDirectory and destinationDirectory are on the same hard drive just moves some links around, and doesn't actually copy all the files to a new location, and then delete them.

Does robocopy sourceDirectory destinationDirectory /mov act like the MSDOS move command when sourceDirectory and destinationDirectory are on the same hard drive?

All the robocopy documentation I've been able to find, has not been clear on this point.

I'm running 64bit Windows7 in case that matters.

Answer 1

Robocopy copys the data first, then deletes the previous files even if they are on the same hard drive. It does not do an optimized move. This was tested on a Windows 7 machine.
