PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a backup apparatus and method, capable of improving backup performance, and a file reading apparatus capable of improving the file reading performance. SOLUTION: This backup apparatus is configured so that a read sequence, upon reading respective files from a disk apparatus, is determined based on a physical address of the respective storage area storing data of each of the files in the disk device, and the data for each of the files is read from the disk device, in accordance with the read sequence determined. Thus, it is possible to gradually reduce overhead, such as, the head seek and rotational delay in the disk device, upon reading a plurality of files from such a disk devices.
