From ransomware recovery and forensic analysis to seamless migrations and secure restorations, our casework proves our commitment to excellence at every turn.

Critical VM Infrastructure Crashed by Ransomware

A high-impact ransomware attack locked a client out of their data, essentially leading to corrupted Veeam backups, virtual machines becoming completely inaccessible, and a halt to the client’s operations. Facing the loss of both structured and unstructured data, they turned to Total Data Migration for urgent, expert recovery, confident in our ability to navigate complex, multi-layered infrastructure failures and deliver results under pressure.

The Problem

Ransomware encrypted critical VM data, corrupted Veeam backups, and broke RAID configurations, cutting the client off from their structured business data.

The Solution

We rebuilt the RAID array, recovered deleted files, and used proprietary tools to extract VHDX files—restoring vital systems and verifying data usability.

The Results

More than 90% of the client’s virtual machine data was restored, tested, and delivered securely, with end-to-end encryption and compliance oversight.

The Problem

Spyware had infiltrated engineering systems, posing a threat to trade secrets and leaving the organization exposed to regulatory and competitive risk.

The Solution

TDM conducted forensic scans, removed malicious code, hardened network access, and generated evidence-grade documentation for legal and compliance use.

The Results

All infected systems were remediated, operations continued without delay, and the client’s legal team received the forensic data needed for resolution.

Spyware Threat at a Manufacturing Firm

When a manufacturing firm uncovered spyware exfiltrating sensitive IP, they needed more than malware removal—they required full containment, digital forensics, and expert-led assurance. With regulatory pressure looming and internal systems compromised, the client turned to Total Data Migration for a controlled, secure, and documented response that could stand up to legal scrutiny.
