A control device configured to backup data updated in response to update requests issued by a plurality of host devices, includes a memory; and a processor configured to: record, in the memory, a reception interval and a last reception time of the update requests for each host device, compare an elapsed time from the last reception time to a certain timing and the reception interval at the certain timing for each host device, and start the backup according to a comparison result for each host device.

Control device and computer readable recording medium storing control program

A storage control apparatus includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores selection condition information relating to a selection condition for storage devices to construct a RAID, group information relating to groups to which the storage devices belong, and connection information indicating a connection configuration of the storage devices. The processor is configured to perform a procedure including: selecting the storage devices that match the selection condition information; extracting groups to which the selected storage devices belong based on the group information; assigning group priorities, which indicate selection priorities in units of the groups of the storage devices, to the extracted groups based on the connection information; and selecting one storage device from each of the extracted groups in accordance with the group priorities until a predetermined number of storage devices have been selected.

Storage control apparatus for selecting member disks to construct new raid group

An image processing technique for generating a multi-valued image with fine contours from an input image that is generated by reading, as a multi-valued image, the dotted print contents of printed matter. An image processing apparatus of the present invention generates a contour extracted image by performing the contour extraction process for the input image, and deletes contours from the contour extracted image that satisfy a predetermined condition to generate a partial contour image. Then, the apparatus adds contours to the partial image according to the density distribution of the contour in the partial contour image, and generates a contour added image. By referring to the contour added image, the apparatus superimposes the input image and a smoothed image obtained by performing a smoothing process for the input image to generate a synthesized image. Since contours that satisfy a predetermined condition are deleted from the contour extracted image, the moire patterns included in the contour extracted image are removed. In addition, since contours are added according to the density distribution of the contour, necessary contours can be recovered.
