IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, STORAGE DEVICE ADDITION METHOD, AND STORAGE DEVICE ADDITION PROGRAM

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To back up minimum data desired by a user even in a model having no backup function. PSOLUTION: The image processing apparatus includes a NAND-FLASH 43 holding OS backup data 432 to be backed up and user data 433, and allows an HDD 45 with larger capacity than that of the NAND-FLASH 43 to be added thereto. The image processing apparatus includes: a data rearranging means 345 for rearranging the data 432, 433, which are held in the NAND-FLASH 43, in the relevant NAND-FLASH 43 when adding the HDD 45; and a user data backup system 434 for moving the data 432, 433 from the NAND-FLASH 43 to the HDD 45, and storing backup data of the data 432, 433 in the NAND-FLASH 43.
