ABSTRACT:
In the present invention, archive volumes are created in accordance with the size of data that is to be archived, and hence the storage regions are used in an efficient manner. The archive server acquires the data to be archived, via the application server, and detects the size of that data. The archive server issues an instruction to the storage device to cause the the storage device to generate an archive volume having a volume size corresponding to the data size of the data to be archived. The archive server writes the data to be archived to the volume having a storage capacity of the required size, and an access restriction and retention term are respectively established for the volume.
