1390569 2014-12-18 21:21:00 Hi all,

Many moons ago I had a back up of my contacts saved to an external H/D, and a memory stick, etc,-- and have utilized this safety service thankfully
Now all the contacts in each back up I saved to, have gone, and I do not seem to be able to re- back up that address book.
What am I doing wrong?
No point/icon, showing the ability to back up this is showing
Perhaps modern computers do not need this?

Just make sure when you get to the list with Names etc, you check that the persons Name and email are actually ticked. wainuitech (129)

Thank you W T., et al,

I saw that in my searching but was vary wary of the lack of a specific tile "contacts back up" and the thing I would have missed is the ticked address
