A method for supporting recovery processing from a failed storage device in a computer system which also includes a processing unit. The processing unit executes a batch job including plural jobs. Transition history information which includes information of executed jobs and an operated on data-set is obtained during execution of the batch job. When performing recovery processing upon detection of a failed storage device, the transition history information is inspected. Jobs that have performed an output operation to the failed storage device are extracted as direct re-execution jobs. Further, jobs on which a data-set operation is effected by the direct re-execution jobs are extracted as indirect re-execution jobs. Still further, a data-set and generation of a data-set to be restored, deletion of a data-set, and a method and timing thereof are determined. Then, information used for supporting the recovery operation is edited and the edited information is output.
