@ Proxcee - You don't use the PIM Backup utility to back-up your contacts? I've personally never had a problem using that program to back-up my contacts in the last 5 or so years I've been using it...I did however notice that you just can not have more than one program backing up your contacts, hence the duplicates...So for example if you have activesync back up your contacts, then you restore your contacts with your preferred back up utility but then when you sync your phone it duplicates everything in your contacts list, so I just use PIM backup and make sure that backup is saved on my SD card, safe and sound.
