To provide a storage management device capable of performing restore at a high speed. In the storage management device that manages backup and restore of data stored in a storage device, a temporary restored image is created by applying each required delta image to the full backup image, a reverse delta image before the application of the applied delta image is created, and a number of delta application blocks concerning the applied delta image is recorded as cost information of applying delta. The delta backup restore unit determines a restore method by comparing a number of blocks, which is changed when restore is performed by applying each piece of the reverse delta image, with a number of blocks, which is changed when the restore is performed by applying each delta image, with reference to the cost information of applying delta. |
