Hi,

Here's what I do:

http://www.mytechguide.org/2010/10/09/backup-complete-facebook-profile/

There's an option in your settings to request that FB generate a
backup, and you'll get an email with a link to a .zip file when it's
done. This unzips into a directory with various subfolders and HTML
files with all your media, wall content, messages, etc.

The HTML files are pretty big, and might make your browser grind a bit
if you choose to view them that way -- my
pathall-facebook/html/wall.html file, for instance, is about 2 megs.
But the markup isn't bad -- and it's certainly greppable.

cheers,
Pat
