Abstract
An information processing apparatus protects data stored in a storage device by saving setting data stored on a first storage device to a second storage device when the first storage device fails, or when an encryption function is enabled or disabled. The process of protecting the date includes, after a reservation for saving setting data is made, saving the setting data, cancelling the reservation, and making a reservation for restoring the setting data. If the setting data is to be restored, it is determined whether the reservation for restoring the setting data has been made, and if the reservation has been made, the setting data is restored to the first storage device.
Claims8
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a first setting unit configured to set reservation information for making a reservation to save setting data stored in a first storage device, which should be saved to a second storage device, to the second storage device;
- a saving unit configured to save the setting data stored in the first storage device to the second storage device after the reservation information is set by the first setting unit;
- and
- a stopping unit configured to stop operation of the first storage device after the setting data stored in the first storage device is saved to the second storage device by the saving unit.
An information processing method comprising:
- setting reservation information for making a reservation to save setting data stored in a first storage device, which should be saved to a second storage device, to the second storage device;
- saving the setting data stored in the first storage device to the second storage device after the reservation information is set;
- and
- stopping operation of the first storage device after the setting data stored in the first storage device is saved to the second storage device.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer executable instructions that cause a computer to execute an information processing method comprising:
- setting reservation information for making a reservation to save setting data stored in a first storage device, which should be saved to a second storage device, to the second storage device;
- saving the setting data stored in the first storage device to the second storage device after the reservation information is set;
- and
- stopping operation of the first storage device after the setting data stored in the first storage device is saved to the second storage device.
