✎ Note:
This application do not restore contacts! yet... We recommend using the restore suggestion below.

Restore Contacts Tip:
⇨ Import the CSV file with http://www.google.com/contacts.
⇦ Contact data will then be synced back to your device.

Why Backup Contacts?
When new contact data is created on your Android™ device, you would think that it’s all saved at the same place by default? this is not always true.

Contacts Data could be saved in places like:
⇨ Google account - contact data
⇨ Phone/Tablet - contact data
⇨ Other: Facebook etc. - contact data

The Backup Contacts application retrieves ALL contact data stored on your Android™ device and saves it into ONE text file for safe keeping.

✎ Note:
If you loose your Android™ device! the only contact data backed up by default is the Google account - contact data!

If you like this application, give it some stars.

What are users saying about Backup Contacts

D70%
by D####:

CSV file does not have individual values under the various columns, instead all the information is in one cell on the spreadsheet. This means you cannot import with Google contacts like the app says, because Google contacts can't read the file in this format.

Great App!!! Allows you to export into CSV file all of your phone's contacts, then upload it to Dropbox or simply email it. On demand you can keep allof your contacts secure. Sometimes it is easier to manually export and then import contacts than counting on a fishy app

The first app I found (I tried at least 6 others) that will do a csv backup from Android and restore to Windows People app. Did a backup to csv file, emailed it to myself (a program option), restored it on my pc. Easy, accurate, no hassle. It works.

You have to keep the file format as .vcf which is very popular Backup file format nowadays & not .csv(Comma Separated Value) which is a very old & outdated format.I couldn't open the backup file from Office Pro App installed on my phone. Too much Useless.

So it makes a "Contacts" folder on the SD card. Now what?? Not satisfactory to give us a tip to search Google for an import (restore) solution.

where are Nickname, Notes, and any other additional fields on the contacts file - using Android latest version - many other fields available, wonderful system! so a good backup should back up absolutely everything excluding of course things like ring tone or photo even though they could be also copied but that would be more than expected. of course, the no-restore availability is also an issue. I notice that the latest version is from March 3, 2013 - is this company still there? this is a problem with many apps. I like the simplicity - there is no requirement for anything more complicated as long as it works and is updated for new versions of Android. i will gladly pay for this if it does what I need.
