In a remote copy method, a delay in data update processing in a primary volume is eliminated. The method employs at least one of a synchronous method in which the data of a primary volume is updated after being confirmed that the data has been copied into a secondary volume and an asynchronous method in which the data of the primary volume is updated before being confirmed that the data has been copied into the secondary volume. The data of the primary volume is updated by a command from the higher-level host, and, when the updated data is copied into the secondary volume, a response time that is the time taken to copy the data into the secondary volume is monitored. At this time, the synchronous method is employed, and, when the response time being monitored exceeds a fixed time, the asynchronous method is employed instead of the synchronous method.
