A recording medium in which data is recorded onto a recording surface, comprising: a plurality of zones obtained by dividing said recording surface into a plurality of regions at a pitch interval in the radial direction, the zones having individually different capacities, and each zone having at least one data area; and a plurality of spare areas which are provided for said respective zones and are used as an alternative for a defective sector, each spare area being alternately placed with respect to the data area, wherein the pitch interval of the spare areas of each zone is determined on the basis of a spare ratio K and the pitch interval of each zone; further wherein said spare ratio K equals a total capacity of the spare areas divided by a total capacity of data areas on said recording surface. 8. A medium according to claim 7, wherein said spare ratio K is weighted so as to be large on the outer side of the recording medium. 9. A medium according to claim 7, wherein there is provided a recording and reproducing structure of magnetically induced super resolution (MSR) in which at least a recording layer for recording data at a recording density smaller than a beam diameter of a laser beam and a reproducing layer for reproducing the data recorded in said recording layer by a combination of a reproducing magnetic field and a reproducing laser power are formed on a substrate. 10. A storing apparatus comprising: a recording unit which has a plurality of zones having individually different capacities, the zones being obtained by dividing a recording surface into a plurality of regions in the radial direction, with each zone having at least one data area, and a plurality of spare areas provided for said respective zones and used as an alternative for a defective sector with each spare area being alternately placed with respect to the data area, the recording unit recording data to a recording medium in which a ratio of (the number of spare logical tracks occupied by the spare areas in each zone)/(the number of sectors) is determined on the basis of a spare ratio K and a capacity of the data area of each zone, wherein the spare ratio K equals a total capacity of the spare areas divided by a total capacity of data areas on said recording surface; a reproducing unit for reproducing the data on said recording medium; and a defect processing unit for, when the defective sector in said recording medium is detected, allowing an alternating process such that an alternate sector is allocated to a spare area in a zone to which said defective sector belongs and said alternate sector is used to be executed. 11. An apparatus according to claim 10, wherein when the defective sector due to a format of said recording medium is detected, said defect processing unit allows a subsequent normal sector to be used and executes a slipping process for slipping a sector overflowed from a data area into the spare are a in the zone, and when the defective sector is detected after said formatting, said defect processing unit executes the alternating process for allocating the alternate sector to the spare area in the zone and allowing the alternate sector to be used. 12. An apparatus according to claim 10, wherein the number of spare logical tracks or the number of spare logical sectors occupied by the spare area in each zone in said recording medium is an integer value determined on the basis of a value obtained by multiplying the number of logical tracks or the number of sectors of a data area in each zone by said spare ratio K. 13. An apparatus according to any one of claims 10 to 12, wherein when the number of user data zones on said recording surface is equal to 18 and the total number of spare logical tracks in said user data zone is eq
