Abstract
A storage management apparatus includes a prevention instructing unit and an execution instructing unit. The prevention instructing unit transmits an update prevention instruction to prevent data in a backup source volume from being updated by an information processing apparatus. After the update prevention instruction is transmitted, the execution instructing unit transmits to the storage apparatus an execution instruction to cause the storage apparatus to execute a snapshot creation process and a backup process. The snapshot creation process creates a snapshot of the backup source volume using a copy-on-write scheme. The backup process copies updated data among the data in the backup source volume to a backup destination volume.
