Backing up your LinkedIn page
We answer questions from bloggers all the time… The most common one is "How do I backup pages on TypePad?". So being the technical guys we are, we saw some documentation about a handy plugin for Firefox named ScrapBook. We installed it and put it to the test. And you know what? This works for every social website we tried!
ScrapBook is a good way to keep all that stuff you have on any number of sites safe with a local copy that your internet backup can automatically archive for you. With one program! It just saves it. No command lines, fancy plugins or holding your tongue just right. If bad things happen to one of your sites, you’ve got the content.
How you ask? Here’s how we did it.
A First, go to the ScrapBook download page (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/427). Click the Install Now button (green) and restart Firefox when instructed.
B Once Firefox has restarted, you’re ready to use ScrapBook.
C Surf somewhere you’d like to scrapbook. Once you’re there, on the menu, select Capture Page As.
D Use "Capture Page As" to set the depth of links you want to copy. This is a important! This is how all the links on your page get automatically backed up. You wouldn’t be able to copy those extra pages if the depth is set to zero. You’d be able to if it’s set to 1. But if it is set to 2, you will save all the linked pages and so on.
E After you’ve selected the different options, click Capture. You’ve now saved a copy on your computer! Now, go to the ScrapBook menu and click Show in Sidebar. The captured pages are listed in plain view.
So, what do we have so far? You now have a local copy of all the content on your FaceBook, etc. page. So if anything goes south, your covered. But like Billy Mays always says… "But Not only this, we have more".
If you have a internet backup product like OPENRSM Cloudbackup on your computer just make sure that it’s configuration has your personal files selected for backup. This way all your computers essential files are backed up and your social website content is too. And Firefox runs on windows, Mac, and Linux all the same. Not only will your computer have a full online backup, but your social websites will be too.
