PostHeaderIcon Backing up your MySpace page

MAC

We get questions from bloggers all the time… The most common one is “How do I backup pages on MySpace?”.  So being the web guys we are, we did some research with some documentation about a essential plugin for Firefox titled ScrapBook.  We read, downloaded, installed, and used it hard. And, you know? This works for every Web 2.0 we surfed!

ScrapBook is a new way to keep all that content you have on any number of sites protected with a local copy that your online backup can automatically archive for you. With one program! No installing plugins, jockeying around on the command line… It just saves it so you can recover if they go bad on you.

How you are wondering? We did it like this.

A First, go to the ScrapBook download page (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/427). Just click the green Install Now button and then restart Firefox when it tells you to.

B Once Firefox has restarted, you’re ready to use ScrapBook.

C Go to a website you’d like to save with ScrapBook. When your there, click “Capture Page As” on the menu.

D Now, with “Capture Page As”, you can pick the depth of links you’d like to save. This is a important! This is how you can automatically back up all the links on your page. If you had the depth set to 0 (zero), you wouldn’t be able to copy those extra pages. If it was set to 1, you’d be able to. But if it is set to 2, you will save all the linked pages and so on.

E After picking the options you want, click Capture. A copy is now saved! Now, go to the ScrapBook menu and click Show in Sidebar. You can now see the captured page list.

To review, here’s what we have so far? You now have a local copy of all the content on your LinkedIn, etc. page. So if anything goes south, your covered. But as they show on Cable TV… “But Not only this, we have more”.

If you have a internet backup product like OPENRSM on your computer just make sure that it’s configuration has your personal files selected for backup. That way you can have all your social websites backed up and preserved with the rest of your computers essential data. And Firefox runs on windows, Mac, and Linux all the same.  Not only will your computer have a full internet backup, but your social websites will be too.
