1. A backup management device that selects a backup destination when backing up data of a backup target including a virtual machine or a physical server to a backup destination including a storage device or a cloud area, the backup management device comprising:
a backup requirement table that holds backup requirement information;
a backup specification table that holds information related to a capacity resource or calculation performance of the backup destination;
an existing backup information table that holds a backup capacity collected from the backup destination; and
a backup schedule table that holds information related to a task of backing up the data of the backup target to the backup destination,
wherein the backup requirement table, the backup specification table, and the backup schedule table are referred to, and,
when conditions related to the capacity resource specified in the backup requirement table cannot be satisfied when the data is backed up to the backup destination for the task of the backup target of the backup schedule table,
predicted resource consumption when the data of the backup target in the task is backed up to each of other backup destinations is calculated by referring to the existing backup information table,
a score representing a low impact on the resource when migrating to each of the other backup destinations is calculated on a basis of the predicted resource consumption, and
a backup destination as a migration destination of the backup related to the task is determined on a basis of the score, and the backup schedule table is updated such that the determined backup destination becomes the backup destination related to the task.
