A system and method for automatically backing up logical entity data. Filesystems within the computer system are identified and data pertaining to the filesystem is recorded to backup storage. Recorded data includes the filesystem name, size, mount points, logical volumes, and logical volume groups. The logical entity backup process records the logical volume group names, the disk identification data associated with the logical volumes, the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses that have been set for the computer system, gateway address information for accessing a gateway computer, and netmask information. The backup process backs the logical entity data to nonvolatile storage either in a removable media or to a computer network storage device that is connected to the computer system through a computer network. The recovery process reads the recorded logical entity data and first restores the data to the computer system in order to establish the logical entities that existed on the computer system prior to the failure. After the logical entities are established, file and directory data are recovered using the same commercial software used to backup such data.
