Original Abstract Submitted

A call control system includes a management device () which manages one or more virtual machines () operating on a virtualization platform. The virtual machine () includes a volume () in which an OS, an MW, and an APL which are not updated in operation are installed, a volume () in which data which is updated in operation is arranged, and a recovery unit () which transmits an image acquisition request for the volume () to the management device (). The management device () includes a management unit () which creates the virtual machine () by arranging an image file including an OS, an MW, and an APL to the volume () and arranging an image file including data which is updated while the virtual machine () is operating to the volume () and a backup unit () which backs up the volume () as an image file in response to an image acquisition request from the virtual machine (). The recovery unit () expands an initialization range step by step when a software failure occurs, restarts the software, and transmits a volume creation request to the management device () when the initialization range reaches a predetermined stage. The backup unit () creates a new volume () using the image file in response to the volume creation request. The recovery unit () replaces the volume () with a new volume () created in response to the volume creation request.
