<p>When reproducing the OS of a customer-side device (102) at a vendor-side reproduction device (103), this reproduction support device (101) retains configuration files of all OSs and files of all patches provided by the vendor as a database. The reproduction support device (101) compares information uniquely identifying intra-device files at the customer-side device (102) with files within the database in order to extract the same files as the intra-device files in the customer-side device (102) from within the database and copy the same to the reproduction device (103). Therefore, the reproduction device (103) is capable of reducing the amount of time required for application of patches when applying the patches to an OS in the prior art in order to reproduce the customer-side device (102), and therefore, it is possible to significantly shorten the amount of time required for reproducing the OS of the customer-side device (102).</p> |
