Moving files after inserting them into Database

I have a folder that I am fetching xml file contents from and inserting them into a database. The challenge that I have is to move files from original destination to another destination which in this case works as a backup storage.

Below is my code I am using to fetch file contents and inserting them into database.

public function store(Request $request)
{
    $directory = storage_path('app/xmlentries/uploads'); //Folder I am getting file contents from

    $files = File::allFiles($directory);

    foreach ($files as $file) {

        $contents = $file->getContents();

        foreach ((array) $contents as $content) {
            $simpleXml = simplexml_load_string($content);

            $data = [
                'experience'       => $simpleXml->ExportData->Requisition->EssentialFunction,
                'job_requirements' => $simpleXml->ExportData->Requisition->EssentialFunction,
            ];

            Vacancy::insert($data);
        }
    }

    $processed = storage_path('app/xmlentries/processed'); //Folder that I must move files to
    File::move($processed);
}

Please note that the inserting of file contents to database works fine.

How would i move my files from $directory to $processed ?
