A complex machine is provided with a HDD in which a data is to be stored, and a control unit for instructing the storage of a data in the HDD. If the data storage is instructed, the control unit confirms the free capacity of the HDD and those of HDDs of other complex machines connected on a network to compare the free capacities of the respective HDDs, and transmits the data to the other complex machine including the HDD judged to have a largest free capacity. Accordingly, there can be provided a data management system capable of equalizing data amounts saved in a plurality of image forming apparatuses on a network, and an image forming apparatus enabling such a data management system.
