Case Study: Eastern Yacht Club achieves rapid recovery after devastating fire with Intronis cloud backup

Cloud Backup Helps Bring a Historic Business Back from the Brink of Disaster

Eastern Yacht Club, a historic Marblehead, MA institution founded in 1870, faced failing IT and telecom systems and lacked offsite copies of hundreds of billing records, photos and event files—leaving the club vulnerable during its busiest season. With important operational data unprotected, management engaged local IT partner Internet & Telephone to assess the risk and recommend a solution.

Internet & Telephone implemented Intronis cloud-based nightly backups, and when a three‑alarm fire struck the clubhouse on June 12, 2014, all data was safely stored offsite. Servers were restored in under a day, payroll and operations continued with minimal disruption, and the club credited the cloud backup and its local partners with enabling a swift recovery and preserving its business continuity.
