System managing apparatus and system management method

A system management method using an information processing apparatus that manages a hybrid cloud system that includes a computer system including a first storage constructed in an on-premises environment and a second storage constructed in a cloud environment, the hybrid cloud system being configured to enable data copying by which a copy of data of an application stored on the first storage is stored on the second storage, the system management method comprising:

• by the information processing apparatus, acquiring a recovery point objective, an application quiescing time period per unit data amount, a copy data amount, and a copy time period regarding the data copying of the application;
• and
• by the information processing apparatus, calculating a timing of a copy execution instruction for the data copying that guarantees the recovery point objective that maintains consistency of the application, on a basis of the recovery point objective, the application quiescing time period per unit data amount, the copy data amount, and the copy time period.
