A virtualization system, including: at least one first port coupled to at
least one host system; at least one second port coupled to a plurality of
storage systems; wherein the virtualization system is capable to control
to perform processes of splitting a relationship between the first
virtual volume and the second virtual volume; storing first differential
information identifying data of a first write request; write data of
first write request to a storage area of the disk drives related to the
first logical volume; storing second differential information identifying
data of a second write request, the data of the second request being
written after the splitting step, receiving a differential copying
request; to copy differential data from the first virtual volume to the
second virtual volume, or to copy differential data from the second
virtual volume to the first virtual volume.
