Q: When I transfer the data over to the new computer does it delete it from the old computer?

I'm getting a new mac next month and will likely transfer all my docs, photos, settings etc using the method in this article. I was wondering, though, if when the data is transferred to the new computer, if it is deleted from the old computer? I've had issues in the past with back ups and updates going badly and I fear that I will lose all of my data through an error in transfer.

MacBook, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)
