ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD

According to one embodiment, an electronic device operably connectable to a storage includes a memory and a processor. The processor is electrically connected to the memory, and is configured to acquire failure precursory data concerning the storage, compute a failure risk of the storage, based on the acquired failure precursory data, determine recommended values for two or more backup frequencies of data stored in the storage, a backup data amount, a permissibility of system load for backup, and a backup destination, based on the computed failure risk, and present a setting screen for a backup method in which the determined recommended values are set as initial values respectively for each setting item.
