ABSTRACT:
The present invention permits backup processing suited to data characteristics relating to backup target data by means of a method that is simple for the user. Data characteristic classification definition information, in which data characteristic IDs correspond with one or more data characteristic types respectively, and mapping information, in which backup destination server information corresponds with one or more data characteristic IDs respectively, are prepared. The backup source server3sets data characteristic IDs in each of the backup target files on the basis of metadata of designated backup target files and of the data characteristic classification definition information, and then determines backup destination servers6A to6C for each of the backup target files on the basis of the set data characteristic IDs and mapping information and transmits the backup target files to the determined servers6A to6C.
