Oh. They seem the same to me, so no, no "backup".
Since reading various other posts I have exported the laboriously renewed
Contacts as a .pst file, but it's difficult to know if it has worked properly
since you can only open it within Outlook (AFAIK). Can't export as CSV as the
company hasn't installed the converters (and won't for some reason).

Did you ever back up your data? Archiving and backup are not the same.

I wished to copy my Contacts to my new phone. Carefully Archived Outlook
(several times to different names). Synchronise, and the Empty phone wipes
out Contacts (but not Calendar).
Ok, back up from Archive I think to myself. But it seems that the ONLY
folder Archive does NOT back up is Contacts - can't find any anywhere.
Any help possible?
