Since Facebook is widely used for communication between people and is slowly becoming a standard (at least in Italy) like Google is for research, the data it contains begins to become many and important. There are quite a few people who use Facebook more to send private messages rather than email and lots of contacts are stored there. The big problem, however, is that these data cannot be controlled directly, they are managed and stored on the servers of the American company and there is no way for Facebook to take them out and save them on the computer .
So it happens that if you are banned (many have been and are still banned for violating the rules) and your account is canceled, for good reasons or by mistake, you lose everything and, this time not even the best hacker would be able to recover account information. Not to mention the fact that pirated accounts are often happening, people whose passwords are stolen and are no longer able to log in.
There is a certain feeling of helplessness and fear when one realizes that one has been blocked or that some unknown person now has access to all the data contained in the account.
For those who use Facebook, it is therefore essential, in my opinion, to backup some important data : private mail, friends list, photos, messages on the wall or on the bulletin board .
Until recently there was no way to bring this data to your computer and save it to share it or to save it elsewhere. In this article we see what is there today that can be used as Facebook Backup .
1) On Facebook, data and profile information can be downloaded in full without using external programs.
2) You can import Facebook contacts and friends into the Gmail, Yahoo Mail, Hotmail and Microsoft Outlook address book.
4) The best Facebook backup program is called MyCubeVault . This open source and free program allows you to download Facebook Picasa and Google data to your PC. For Facebook just give the access authorization, then login by pressing the blue button and wait for the download of photos, friends, status updates, events, notes, links and albums. You can also create an automatic daily, weekly or monthly Facebook backup.
5) In another article, all the ways to download photo and image albums from Facebook .
6) Facebook Backup is a CHrome extension to download and save a copy of all chats and messages.
7) Archive Facebook (no longer exists) is an extension for Firefox, an add-on to be installed on the Mozilla browser that captures and saves all the Facebook account pages on the computer . He then manages to download all the pages relating to the account to the PC: the profile page, friends, the list of states, news, photos, videos, notes, links, video game scores, in short, everything is stored on your computer and you can browse it like a copy of Facebook, without connecting to the internet .
Archive Facebook therefore allows you to save: photos, messages, online activity streams, friends lists, notes, events, groups, information.
To use Archive Facebook you must first of all have a url of the type www.facebook.com/pomhey or with the name in the URL.
To do this, if it still has the profile address with the numbers, you must enable the personalized URL at //www.facebook.com/username/.
Once the extension is installed, after restarting Firefox you will see a new item in the tools menu called "ArchiveFB". To archive everything then you log in to your account, go to the ArchiveFB menu and show it on the sidebar (Show in sidebar). While you are seeing Facebook open in the browser, press the ArchiveFB -> Archive button and say OK to start the backup process. Once the archiving process starts, ArchiveFB begins to recover the Facebook flow in reverse chronological order . If you select Cancel in one of these dialogs, the archive extends back in time only up to that date and time (do not overdo the time period). You should be able to view photos, a list of friends, notes, and other things. ArchiveFB stores the copy of the data within the Facebook Firefox profile by default. The ArchiveFB folder on your computer is created inside the Firefox profile folder. If you want to use a different browser to view these archived files, you have to go to the ArchiveFB sidebar, Tools -> Options -> Organize tab and specify a different path to save the backup. From an archive group, you can open the " index.html " file to open and browse the data of the copy of Facebook within any browser.
