SOLUTION: A CPU 15 in a hierarchial storage controller 2 generates specified media sets in a specified volume pool in accordance with a request from a client computer 19. When file data are given, the data are temporarily stored in RAID units 18 and the data are recorded into jukes 3 to 5, which incorporate removable media corresponding to media sets that are set with a prescribed timing, for multiplexing.
