Abstract
An image forming apparatus transmits a database to an external server. The image forming apparatus includes a storage section, a replication section, an encipherment section, a transmission section, a generation section, and an acquisition section. The storage section stores a database therein. The replication section generates a replica of the database stored in the storage section as a replicated database. The encipherment section enciphers the replicated database. The transmission section transmits the enciphered database to the external server each time a predetermined time period elapses. The generation section generates a deciphering key for deciphering the enciphered database. The acquisition section acquires disaster information. Upon the acquisition section acquiring the disaster information, the transmission section transmits the deciphering key to the external server.
