LabArchives: Backup Notebook

How to create local backups of your LabArchives data

There are two ways to backup and retain a read-only copy of a LabArchives notebook:

  • Downloading a PDF copy that includes all entries and embedded attachments that are smaller than 250 MB or
  • Creating an offline HTML version of the notebook that is also searchable and clickable.

Note: If your notebook contains electronic Protected Health information, these downloads must be stored in a HIPAA approved storage location.
