FAA regulations seems to indicate that there are plans: "(5) Procedural means. g. Procedural Mitigations. If one or more onboard EFBs fail, resulting in loss of function or the presentation of false or hazardously misleading information, a contingency plan or process will need to be in place to provide the required information."

Probably they had to switch to paper on those flights (otherwise the impact would have been minimal)
