Take out

Find your first Google+ post (and get an archive of all your posts) using Google TakeoutBrian Slesinsky has posted a neat trick for finding that first post you posted here on Google+ and creating a backup archive of your posts:
https://plus.google.com/+BrianSlesinsky/posts/6AXRHih9FFLHere are the instructions:
1. Go to
https://takeout.google.com/settings/takeout 2. Optional:
to switch to a Google+ Page click your profile photo at top right, and select the Google+ Page's Brand Account from the list. Once you have switched you will see the Page's Profile image at top right.
3. Deselect everything in the Takeout list except
Google+ Stream4. Download as a zip file.
(Creating the archive may take a while if you have a lot of posts)
5. Unzip.
6. Open
Takeout folder
7. Open
Google+ Stream folder
8. There will be one HTML file per post.
Sort by date modified.Notes:
* The earliest modified file should be your first post.
* The file should open in your browser. Click the
Permalink link to open the post on Google+.
*
the archive does not include photos or images you posted to Google+. You can create a separate archive of your photos in Google Takeout > Google Photos (Google+ uploads appear to be in date albums)
* you may see a
Google+ Pages archive option. This only archives the Circles of your Google+ Pages, not the posts.
* My stream archive was 6521(!) post files and about 25MB.
