Does backing up contacts delete old contacts?

Taras49 · #1 08-04-2012, 08:01 AM

I recently went through my contacts in OutLook and changed a number of them. Minor changes; like changing "Elizabeth" to "Liz" and correcting the spelling of some last names. Now I'm going to back up my contacts. If I ever have to retreive the contacts and re-install from back-up, am I going to have duplicate contacts with both Liz and Eliabeth? Or will the back up just mirror what I have now?

Hi Taras,

If you take backup after the changing name like "Elizabeth" to "Liz" and then reinstall the contact then no duplicate issue occur. Actually it is depend upon the your outlook profile, if you reinstall the contact your old profile than it might be chance to see duplicate contact in you outlook. But if you configure new outlook profile and reinstall the contacts then there are no chance to duplicate contacts.
