Facebook is a popular target for hackers, so by using the social network you are entrusting your account info, photos, friends' details, groups and other personal details to be stored outside your control. That's a potential privacy (and security) risk.
For this reason, it's worth making the occasional back-up to store locally on your PC. To do this, log into your account, click the cog icon in the top-right corner of any page and select Account Settings. Click General in the left-hand column, select 'Download a copy of your Facebook data' and then
Click Start My Archive.
Facebook will prepare the download, which includes anything posted on your timeline, sent and received messages, photos and videos; and your friend list.
You'll receive an email when the back-up is ready (this can take several hours).
