The present invention is directed to an apparatus enabled to easily and automatically restore the environment of a client in a client/server system after a hard disk of the client is replaced with a new one. This apparatus has a unit recognizing that replacement of a hard disk of a client (200) is performed, and another unit that installs data, which is backed up from the hard disk provided in the client before the replacement thereof and subsequently and preliminarily stored in a server (100), in response to the replacement thereof onto a hard disk provided in the client after the replacement. Further, a plurality of kinds of data backed up from the hard disk, which is provided in the client before the replacement thereof, are prepared in the server. One of the plurality of kinds of data can be selected therefrom and installed on the hard disk that is provided in the client. For example, one of the plurality of kinds of data may be backed up from the hard disk of the client in the environment just before the replacement of the hard disk is performed therein.
