The present invention relates, for example, to a recording apparatus and method suitable for use in temporarily storing data recorded to a detachable recording medium. In step S 501, a directory, recorded to an MS, to be stored is searched, and its capacity is calculated and displayed on a display screen. In step S 502, a user operation is accepted to select the directory to be stored. In step S 503, all files that belong to the selected directory to be stored are retrieved, and recorded to an HDD as one archive file. In step S 504, the original object directory and a file name of the archive file are stored in a matching relationship with each other into the recorded archive file. In step S 505, the directory which has been stored in the HDD is deleted from the MS. The present invention is suitably applied, for example, to an audio data server. |
