Abstract
In an information processing system environment including a plurality of client machines and at least a server, backup data is sorted out into a data portion common to respective client machines and a data portion unique to respective client machines, and each data portion is stored separately. Owing to the arrangement mentioned in the above, it is made possible to save the disk space effectively.
