Abstract: An administrative terminal receives designation of generation target data and of a generation destination storage device and identifies data similar to the target data. The terminal calculates a first predicted time expected for transmitting the target data from a storage device holding the target data to the generation destination storage device, and a second predicted time expected to be required for a second transmission process of transmitting the similar data from an object storage service to the generation destination storage device and of transmitting difference data between the target data and the similar data from the storage device holding the target data to the generation destination storage device. If the second predicted time is shorter than the first predicted time, the administrative terminal performs the second transmission process to transmit the similar data and the difference data to the generation destination storage device to generate the generation target data therein.
