Disaster & Data Recovery for Maryland, DC & Delaware businesses
Lost data, downed servers, ransomware, fire, flood, or a hard drive that just won't spin. Whatever the disaster, we have a recovery plan and the team to execute it.
When something goes wrong, you'll have a plan, not a panic
Data loss disrupts business. Whether it's a failed server, a ransomware attack, a flooded office, or an accidentally deleted folder, the question isn't if something will go wrong. It's whether you're ready to recover quickly when it does.
DDSystems builds resilient disaster recovery and data recovery programs as part of our Cloud & Data Center Services. Local backups, replicated cloud copies, documented recovery procedures, and 24/7 monitoring, designed and maintained by our Maryland-based team. So when disaster strikes, you don't wonder what to do next.
Disasters come in all shapes and sizes
Recovery isn't just about cyber attacks. A fire in your server closet can be just as devastating as a virus. We plan for them all.
Ransomware & Cyber Attacks
Encrypted files, exfiltrated data, compromised accounts. Our backups are immutable and offsite, so attackers can't lock you out of your own recovery.
Natural Disasters
Extreme weather, fire, flooding. Offsite cloud replication means a destroyed building doesn't mean destroyed data.
Hardware Failures
Server crashes, RAID failures, drive corruption, NAS outages. Fast recovery from a local backup, no shipping drives across the country.
File Corruption & Software Failures
Database corruption, failed migrations, software bugs, sync conflicts. We restore to a known-good point before the corruption started.
Human Error & Insider Threats
Accidentally deleted folders, overwritten files, departing employees. The most common cause of data loss and the easiest to recover from when you're prepared.
Power & Network Outages
Extended outages that disrupt operations. UPS coordination, failover planning, and continuity strategies so the lights stay on.
Recovery built for real-world business operations
Speed, security, and continuity, with the documentation to back it up.
Fast recovery times
Industry-leading RTOs (recovery time objectives) so business operations are back online in minutes or hours, not days.
Encryption & redundancy
Every backup is encrypted in transit and at rest. Local plus cloud copies ensure redundancy against single points of failure.
Business continuity
Failover infrastructure and documented procedures keep core systems available even during recovery operations.
24/7 monitoring
Round-the-clock backup verification, alert response, and incident escalation. Issues caught before they become outages.
The 3-2-1 backup rule, properly implemented
The industry-standard backup methodology is simple to describe and hard to get right. Three copies of your data. Two different media types. One copy offsite. We implement it so that no single failure can cost you everything.
- Three copies of your data: production plus two independent backups
- Two media types: local disk for fast recovery, plus encrypted cloud replication
- One offsite: immutable copies in the DDSystems cloud, ransomware-resistant
- Backup validation: we test restores routinely so they actually work when needed
Recovery isn't reactive. It's planned
We don't just respond when things break. We build the resilience that prevents most disasters from impacting operations at all.
Risk Assessment
We map your environment, identify what's most critical to operations, and document the threats most likely to affect your business specifically.
Proactive Monitoring
Continuous backup verification and infrastructure monitoring catches issues before they escalate. Most "disasters" never happen because we caught the warning signs first.
Backup & Replication
Automated, scheduled backups stored on local disk and replicated to the cloud. Encrypted, immutable, and tested.
Recovery & Restoration
When something does happen, we execute the documented recovery plan. Fast restoration with clear communication and minimum downtime.
Defined recovery objectives, documented up front
We don't promise vague "fast recovery." We commit to specific RTOs and RPOs based on your business needs, then design infrastructure to hit them.
