How to Back up your Gmail Contacts and Restore.  

There is a simple way of Backing up the Gmail Contacts. It is important because incase you forget your password of Gmail Account, Gmail asks for either alternate email ID which you are supposed to (optional) supply during Gmail ID registration or any frequent used email IDs. To our illluck some times these frequent used email IDs may not be recalled.

So simple thing is to Back Up. By the way, the saved backup copy can be updated and RESTORED back into Google Address Book with a single click. That's a good news.

The following is a simple pictorial view.
Login to your Gmail Account with your ID.
Click the link 'contacts' which appears on left.

 

Click the link 'Export' on your right side.




Select 'Everyone' below 'Who do you want to export?'
Select 'Google CSV format' under 'Which export format?'
 


Save your copy.
