Turns out that downloading your stuff from Facebook
is a lot easier than it used to be. Even for someone
like me, who’s racked up a massive amount of data
over the years.3 Ready to take a break from
Facebook, or just want a nice local backup of all the
data you’ve uploaded to the social network over the
years? As Facebook user #806469, I was among the
first million people to join the service, and I’ve used it
pretty steadily since the spring of 2004 –
accumulating more and more history all the time.
Perhaps most importantly, I’ve uploaded 4,186 photos
to date, and I want to make sure I keep every one
of them. Downloading all of my contacts would be
nice too, though Facebook doesn’t make that easy.
Backing up everything else was surprisingly
straightforward, however, using Facebook’s built-in
archival tools.
5 Steps To Backing Up Facebook
Step 1. Click the little gear icon in the upper right
corner and navigate to Account Settings.6
Step 2. Figure out what you’re after. You can
download the primary copy of your user data or you
can choose to download an “expanded archive.. The
latter is an interesting, more technical glimpse at your
Facebook activity over time (shown below). Facebook
has a nice guide that breaks down what you’ll find
where. I downloaded both, because, well, why not?
Step 3. Input your password to start downloading a
copy of your information. Amazingly, my download
was only 350MB, and considering how many photos I
have stored, I imagine that’s on the (very) high end
compared to most Facebook users.1
Step 4. Pore over your data! You’ll get a folder with
your user name that you can explore. It has two
main subfolders: html and photos. The first one – html
– is where all of your archived messages, likes, wall
post s and everything else shows up. In the
“friends”2 file you might be able to find some of your
Facebook friends’ email addresses included to the
right. There’s also an html version of your photo
albums in here. The second main folder is a very
nicely packaged directory of all of your photos in
.jpeg form.
