A clustering storage system, which enables to operate a plurality of storage system units as a single storage system, presents connection information between clustering storage systems to a user and receives data to be backed up and an instruction about a path between the clustering storage systems from the user. The clustering storage system uses load information or a transfer speed of a data connection line between the storage system units to determine a path between the clustering storage systems used for backup and a storage system unit for holding a backup copy so that the data transfer between the storage system units becomes minimum. Besides, the clustering storage system mainly uses the determined path for backing up the data.
