From JibberJobber blog: LinkedIn maintenance you need to do immediately

The person in JibberJobber blog is correct; we spend a lot of time building our profiles in LinkedIn and don't want to loose that work. To guard against it, she recommends doing two things (quoting):

1. Export your contacts. Simply click on Contacts, scroll down to the bottom of the screen and click on Export Connections, and follow that process. Just leave everything at default and you’ll end up with your connections in a .csv file, which opens in Excel.
2. Export your profile. You’ve probably put a fair amount of thought into creating your profile, right? What about any references you have gotten? Simply click on Profile, then find the grayed-out icons above your name, and click on the adobe pdf icon. This exports your profile, including recommendations, into a very nice, presentable document (kudos to whoever at LinkedIn did that formatting, it is very well-done!).
   

I just did this and it took less than a minute and was easy. No I have this information on my PC in case I ever need to recreate my profile on LinkedIn. Why would I need to do that? Ah...read JibberJobber.
