The secondary storage sub system reflects a journal of the first secondary group to a secondary data volume, terminates the reflection based on the marker, switches a volume that makes a volume pair with the secondary data volume from the first primary data volume to the second primary data volume, modifies a belonging of the secondary data volume from the first secondary group to the second secondary group, and reflects a journal in the journal storage area of the second secondary group to the secondary data volume.
