Facebook, being the most popular social networking site with almost 845 million active users and probably more chance in getting cyber attack. Honestly speaking I’m a hard core fan of this Social networking site and upload, updates of Photos, videos and comments are my most frequent activities which might be the same for almost all users. But had you ever thought of backing up your data from the account, with frequent hacking issue of Facebook account it would be a most wise step to back up the data. Don’t know the steps! Just follow the steps given in below:-
How to back up the Facebook data ?
Steps to back up the data from Facebook account is simple and straight,
- Go to Facebook.com and log in to your account.
- Then click on Account setting button (as shown under red box).

- On clicking that button you see a General account setting page. Now click on download a copy button (marked under red box).
- Now you will see a new page saying Download your information. Just click on start my archive.
- Again click on start my archive.
- Finally, when it gets ready Facebook will give you a link back to you here and you can download it.
In most cases, we upload the best and rare pictures of different occasion and as the time goes some of them become too special. So, if by chance the accounts get hacked or blocked we can still have its master copy.
So, haveyou backed up the data from yours Facebook account?

















Wow, this is very cool. Either it’s a new feature or I have been asleep at the wheel for a while now. I can see how this would be beneficial for anyone who uses facebook as the amount of data stored on each person’s account is huge. Also, some memories could be lost. Great post!

Facebook’s security is reasonable tight, I do believe users need to be more vigilance when choosing passwords and what computer they’re using to log into accounts and if using a public wireless network to ensure it’s secure.

Archiving your facebook is a good idea if you get hacked often. I for one got hacked a lot a few years back because I linked every account I had to an old hotmail adress which I knew was hacked and didnt use anymore. How stupid was that!
I removed the email adress from all my accounts as backup email and I never got hacked again
It’s a fairly useful feature but what does it export to? Folders and files? Or some sort of random file extension data file?
It might be useful in the future, if one is looking to “export” their profile to a new social network that sets up a way to import.

Great idea from FaceBook. I had no idea we could do this. Thanks so much for the post.
My Facebook was hacked recently. It was a pain. I followed all the steps, but got locked out. I had to wait 2 days before I could get back in. Annoying, since I followed all their steps. No customer support, either.
This is very helpful since we’ve always heard or read a lot of Facebook horror stories wherein their accounts were being hacked or even on Twitter.When was this feature started? I didn’t know that Facebook has this kind of security setting already. Thanks for sharing this and I’ll definitely check my account now.

Outstanding post..I often feel my facebook profile is not secure. So i proceeded as prescribed by you. But still i haven’t received my back up data. I think its because my profile is so huge.
I have heard of a few people’s Facebook accounts being hacked recently and I was surprised how common it can be.

Great tip. I didn’t even know Facebook had this option or feature. It would be nice if more sites did something like this just in case. You never know if something might happen to any online account.

I tried this several times last year, but for some reason I could not download the file. So I had to seek another alternative using backupify to backup my facebook data.
