What does the >> mean in the MOVE command?

MOVE /Y "\\web\OApp\Uploads\Submitted\*.*" "\\app\OSubmit\Attachments" >> "\\web\OApp\Uploads\copyLog.txt"

I have done Moves in batch files before but I'm not familiar with the >> symbol

I'm thinking this moves everything from \\web\OApp\Uploads\Submitted into \\app\OSumit\Attachments but after the >> I don't know what the \\web\OApp\Uploads\copLog.txt string does.

That just redirects the output of the move command (the status messages that it prints out) into a log file (instead of having them show up on the console).

> overwrites the destination file, while >> appends to it.
