Abstract

The present invention provides a network configuration restoration method and system which can perform restoration by copying past configuration files in a short time. An updating judging unit 304 judges updating of each network device by comparing an acquired configuration file and a registered configuration file linked to a first identifier representing a copy timing. A new save unit 312 acquires an updated configuration file from a network device, and links the updated configuration file to a first identifier and a second identifier which sets the current timing as a new save timing and saves it in a configuration file database 301. A save unit 311 copies a registered configuration file of a network device whose configuration file has not been updated and links it to a first identifier representing the copy timing and a second identifier linked to this configuration file and saves it.
