Backup or restore your contacts in Windows Live Mail This free email tutorial shows you how to backup your contacts or restore your contacts in Windows Live Mail. You should regularly backup your contacts so that you can easily restore them in case of serious computer crash or hard drive failure. If you have backed up your emails and contacts, it will be easy to restore them by importing them back into Windows Live Mail.

Backing up or restoring your contacts in Windows Live Mail

This will allow you to have a file containing all your contacts, which you can then store in a safe place - either using online backup software, or by backing up your contacts file onto an external storage device.
