Did you know? You can download Facebook Account for backup.

Today I was buzzing around Facebook, and I found a pretty cool feature... Download your Information.

Let me take you through the steps on how to download your account.

Log-In into your Facebook account.
Go to Account >> Account Settings



Under My Account>> Settings, scroll down to section "Dowwnload Your Information"


Now you'll be presented with a Verify Password Screen, enter your password and continue.



Once you are authenticated you'll be taken to the page as below. Hit the download button and you'll get a message that your information is being collected and will send an email once the download is ready.


 What next?You will receive an email with the download link, just click on the link and download your account in a zip file. Isn't it cool. Have a look at some of the pages from the downloaded info.
