<p>In a storage system for backing up data of an external apparatus, the external apparatus and a storage apparatus collaboratively perform efficient de-duplication. A storage system stores data from the external apparatus in a unit of content, and includes a backup apparatus configured to execute backup processing to create backup data of the data from the external apparatus in the unit of content; and a storage apparatus coupled to the backup apparatus in a communication-enabled manner and configured to store the backup data received from the backup apparatus. A first backup processing part of the backup apparatus determines whether or not a content is already stored in the storage apparatus by using first redundancy determination information that is information for determining whether or not each of contents of the backup data is already stored in the storage apparatus.</p> |
