How to back up and archive a Facebook group

Years of community knowledge can disappear overnight: an admin deletes the group, an account gets hacked, or Facebook removes content. If your group matters to you, keep your own copy.

Group Exporter for Facebook dashboard listing saved Facebook groups with post and comment counts
Each group keeps its own up-to-date archive on your computer.

Krok po kroku

  1. Download the whole group. Open the group with Group Exporter for Facebook installed and click "Download this group" with "Everything" and comments selected.
  2. Export an offline archive. In Export, choose "Offline archive (HTML)" and "Full data (JSON)", package as ZIP, and include photos.
  3. Store the ZIP safely. Keep the ZIP on an external drive or cloud storage. The HTML archive opens in any browser, offline, with search.
  4. Keep it current. Turn on automatic daily updates (Pro) and auto-export so your archive always includes the latest posts.

Why an HTML archive?

A single archive.html file opens in any browser, on any computer, without an internet connection or any software. It includes search, threaded comments and a "Print / PDF" button. The JSON file is the complete machine-readable backup, and Group Exporter for Facebook can import it again to restore your library on another computer.

Photos

Facebook photo links expire after a while. Export with "Include photos" soon after downloading to keep the images inside your ZIP.

For group admins

Archiving is also useful before migrating a community to another platform (Discord, Circle, a forum), for moderation records, or to build a FAQ from years of answered questions.
