Ready to take a break from Facebook, or just want a nice local backup of all the data you've uploaded to Facebook over the years?
Turns out that downloading your stuff from Facebook is a lot easier than it used to be. Even for someone like me, who's uploaded a massive amount of data 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 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.
