We might have uploaded hundred of photos and videos, sent thousand of messages, updated status on Facebook and sit back and thought that they all are safe and having privacy. But, the question is, are they really safe and will be saved until we delete them ? It may be but we can’t trust on that . Everything we share and upload on the web servers should have proper backup ’cause the information can be lost because of any unexpected reason like server crash , hacking , or administrative actions like banning , suspension, and deletion etc.
Many of us use Facebook like a personal storage of photos , videos and conversations without thinking about their backup. Is it a good idea? You will find the correct answer on that day when they will be lost because of the reasons i mentioned above. As i think we should take backup of everything we share on the Facebook and it does not mean you will have to download them one by one and save in your local storage.
