How do you back up your Outlook contacts?

Answer by  few (12)

I export all my contacts to google mail and save them there. This way they cannot get lost, when my computer crashes. The chances that google goes offline are quite low. Another advantage of this way is, that I can access all my email contacts from anywhere on the world.

You can export your contacts into a variety of formats, probably the most universal one is a CSV file and save it somewhere on your hard drive. That way not only will you have an extra copy of your contacts, but you could also use the contact list in some other type of email program.

To back up your contacts, open up your Outlook folder in Windows Explorer, copy all the files ending in "pst" by highlighting them, and then paste them into a folder where you want them saved, preferably onto a flash drive so in case your computer crashes, your information is backed up elsewhere.
