I didn't see this suggestion, but if it's redundant I apologize. After losing
contacts after I thought I backed such up on my Vista laptop, and doing
silly things, I use SPB backup. However, gMail is great to sync with Active Sync
and saves your contacts and your updates to them. You don't even have to use
gMail for email but could use the account for backup purposes. And they have
instructions on how to set up the sync.
