    Abstract: In a storage system having a function of acquiring update history information in correspondence with a write operation from a host, update data according to the amount of data written will become enormous. Thus, there is a problem in that long-term backup and data management using update history information is not possible. A management computer defines a service level according to time progress of data, and stores and manages update history information according to the service level in the respective stages. The management computer manages the update history information, and partially migrates update data from a certain storage system to another storage system according to the service level required in the data. The management computer also restores data in the storage system to which the update data was migrated.

    Abstract: Provided are a backup data management system and a backup data management method capable of facilitating the management of backup data that is multiplexed between different storage apparatuses. The backup data management system includes a storage apparatus having a volume to be used by a host computer, at least one storage apparatus having volumes, and a management computer. The management computer creates a copy pair so that a snapshot of the volume included in a backup group is stored in all the volumes included in the backup group, and sets all copy pairs included in the designated backup group to a PAIR status when there is a creation request of the snapshot of the volume.

    Abstract: It has been impossible in prior art to copy every piece of data that is stored in a virtual volume. A management computer of this invention receives a copy request that designates a real storage area as a copy source, selects a virtual storage area that is associated with plural real storage areas as a copy destination virtual storage area, and judges whether or not a copy source virtual storage area and the copy destination virtual storage area are allocated to real storage areas. Based on a result of the judging, the management computer gives an instruction to copy data that is stored in the copy source real storage area to a copy destination real storage area, and keeps information about a replication relation between the copy source real storage area and the copy destination real storage area on which the data copy has been performed.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a high-performance storage access environment to a user who moves around a wide area, while increasing the fault resistance of the system. A plurality of network storages (volumes) is assigned to the user. Then, at the occasion of logging in to a volume by the user, the volume that can be accessed with high performance from a position he made access is located. Addresses at a computer with which user makes access are associated with addresses of the volumes provided by a storage device in advance in an assigned volume management table so as to increase access performance. Then, a management server performs control so that the address of the volume associated with the user access position is returned as a response, at the time of logging in.

    Abstract: Provided is a computer system including a first storage subsystem and a second storage subsystem. The first storage subsystem has a first storage unit and a first control unit. The second storage subsystem has a second storage unit and a second control unit. The first control unit records journals, and identifies, when data stored in the first storage unit is to be migrated to the second storage unit, which ones of the recorded journals are related to the data that is to be migrated. The first control unit chooses the identified journals one at a time in reverse chronological order, and judges whether or not the chosen journal corresponds to a data update made at some point between a current time and a time that precedes the current time by a length of a journal retention term set for the second storage subsystem.
