ABSTRACT:
A backup management device is provided that efficiently performs a data backup at a remote area by dispersing a load imposed on a network. A backup management device, which transmits data for a backup across a network from a backup source recording device to at least one backup destination recording device, so as to perform the backup of the data, comprises a load calculation means for obtaining a load distribution for the network; a backup destination selector for employing the load distribution to select, from among multiple available backup destinations, at least one backup destination recording device to which data is to be transmitted; and a data transmitter for transmitting the data to at least one backup destination recording device that is selected by the backup destination selector.
