    3:2:1 rule for data. Always have a backup for your backup. I am also surprised something didn’t freak out on those refrigerators. Seems like an oversight.

      “backing up” biospecimens and other physical samples is not as easy as baking up data. Freeze/thaw often degrades things, and volumes maybe be quite small and not amenable to aliqoting.
