INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS THAT SAVES DATA IN MAIN STORAGE DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

摘要

An information processing apparatus that can flexibly change an amount of data to be saved. A determining unit determines, at a time when the information processing apparatus is started up, whether termination processing has abnormally ended last-time or not. A detecting unit detects an instruction indicating processing that should be performed at the time of the start-up when the determining unit determines that the termination processing has abnormally ended last-time. A saving unit saves, under the instruction detected by the detecting unit, data stored in a save area determined by the instruction from among storage areas of a nonvolatile main storage device, to a save destination determined by the instruction.

1. An information processing apparatus that comprises a nonvolatile main storage device and can save data stored in the nonvolatile main storage device, the information processing apparatus comprising:
a determining unit configured to determine, at a time when the information processing apparatus is started up, whether termination processing has abnormally ended last-time or not; a detecting unit configured to detect an instruction indicating processing that should be performed at the time of the start-up when said determining unit determines that the termination processing has abnormally ended last-time; and a saving unit configured to save, under the instruction detected by said detecting unit, data stored in a save area determined by the instruction from among storage areas of the nonvolatile main storage device, to a save destination determined by the instruction.
