Create a contingency plan that ensures that digital laboratory information is always accessible, also during computer downtime. In phase 2 a system to ensure weekly backups was established.

Depending on how the computerized system is arranged the laboratory can make use of the backups to access laboratory information in case of downtime. E.g. if the laboratory uses only one computer to store all the laboratory information on, and this computer doesn't function, another computer could be used to access the latest backup and find the information needed. However, if a server is used, another solution must be found to ensure continuous access to laboratory information (e.g. accessing of the latest server-backup using a computer that is separated from the laboratory network).
